International Day of Yoga: Exploring the mind-body connection

In the list of practices that can help improve mental well-being and quieten the mind, Yoga remains at the top for its effectiveness and therapeutic nature. On International Day of Yoga, Anjani Chadha speaks to a few individuals from Delhi-NCR who have been able to restore their mind-body balance through this ancient spiritual practice. 

Discovering peace and harmony
I was a loud person, and would get angry easily. From the time I started practising Yoga, I have become a peaceful person. I’ve been doing Yoga for six years. When I look back, I do not recognise the person I was once. I used to be impatient and restless; that has changed. Now, I have become extremely comfortable with myself.
