Hello All! I have heard some really good things about Yoga but I need to ask if it can also help relieve stress?

Definitely! Yoga is one of the best ways to reduce stress. Just doing half an hour of basic postures can bring about a great deal of improvement in your health and overall well-being. However, don't expect a change overnight. Keep doing for at least 2-3 weeks to see some noticeable difference.

I agree with Vishal! Next to meditating and walks, Yoga is my 3rd "go to" for stress relief. It took me a few weeks to "feel" the effects as well, perhaps a month. But it is something to keep with..the rewards are great!
Good Luck

Yes, yoga is a great way to relieve stress! Joining a yoga class at a local gym would be a great idea for anyone to try! You will definitely be glad you did after a few sessions!

Yoga is one of the best things to do for stress relief. Walking my dog 3-4 miles a day is my no. 1 stress reliever, for Bear (my dog) and me! I do not mediate, but another great stress reliever is to soak in the tub with a little lavender essential oil in the water.

I so agree with what has been said. I was having a rough morning today and headed out to yoga class. By the end of the class, I was totally relaxed and ready to face the rest of the day. I was motivated and energized for the first appointment of the day. Give it a try and let the stress and tightness melt away.

Hello all:
I have recently discovered Yoga through P90X by Tony Horton. At the beginning I will have to admit, Yoga seemed kind of funny to me because I thought it was all this weird stuff. Then I tried it... and I'm so glad I did it.
Yoga focuses on your weak points, it is strength, flexibility, and balance... the whole deal. After you are done with your regular Yoga routine, you feel like a million dollars. It is like having a massage on your entire body. I would definitely recommend anyone to try it, specially as a form to release stress.
Best of luck,

yup, yoga's great. it stretches and tones your muscles. plus, instructors usually incorporate meditation at the end of the class. a great way to get "centered" again

Yes yoga is excellent to relieve stress. But you should do it continue.
Otherwise you'll not get any result.

Definitely, it relieves stress. It is one of the recommended stress relief techniques.
This is how it works. Yoga concentrates on combining breathing with physically stretching muscles. It is about the release of negative energy and replacing it with positive energy. Not only does yoga relieve and give rest to tired muscles; it also revitalizes body and soul. It provides the body with the means to deal with daily stress.

Years ago my doctor recommended yoga to get better flexibility in my joints (especially in the feet and ankles). I practiced everyday, and after about a month, it loosened my stiff ankles and feet so that I could walk better and much further. The stress from being limited was replaced with positive thoughts and energy.

hi,
i believe in yoga wholeheartedly! yoga helps relax , tone, condition the entire body. it can be modified to suite any BODY at any stage in their lives. i am also a believer in yoga breathing and meditation. please try it. you will love it! class support is great as you will be able to meet new people and enjoy the energy that each brings to the class.
Relaxation is key to yoga. breathing and listening to your breath helps you check in with your body. my sister just recently fell pregnant too. she had started yoga and was trying to destress. yoga helps with conception~ 
listen to music, laugh and be thankful.. this too helps relax the soul!
namase and blessings on your journey
