YOGA AND LIFE SKILLS FOR GOOD MENTAL HEALTH AND OVERALL WELL-BEING

Abstract

This study explores the impact of yoga and life skills on mental health and overall well-being. Yoga, through its physical postures, breath control, and mindfulness, promotes emotional regulation, reduces stress, and enhances resilience. Life skills such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, and communication complement yoga by empowering individuals to cope with daily challenges effectively. Research indicates that regular yoga practice leads to improved mental health outcomes, including reduced anxiety, depression, and stress, while life skills foster self-awareness and adaptive coping strategies. The integration of yoga and life skills offers a holistic approach to mental wellness, supporting both psychological and physical health. This combination not only enhances emotional well-being but also improves overall life satisfaction. The study advocates for the incorporation of these practices into daily routines to improve mental clarity, resilience, and overall quality of life.
