Many of us has met ‘stress’ which is the very last product of the modern age, moreover we’ve got addicted to it.

But the rest of us still is not aware of what is befalling, they deny the existence of what their experiences reveal in their soul and their body, or try to run away by ignoring. Modern-day scientists describe stress as ‘a situation which shows up when an organism’s physical or spiritual borders are threatened or pushed’. In recent years, stress has become one of the biggest reasons of health problems.

One of the inevitable results of stress, which effects both our psychology and behaviour, are new problems. According to the specialists, changes within the body shows up immediately when under stress. And if the stress sustains, these effects become chronic and start to damage us. When the physical, spiritual and behavioral signs are taken in consideration, we may face lots of different new problems in short or long term.

The differences firstly occur in our mentality and our attitude against life, later they reflect on our behaviour. When the change is not stopped, then it transforms into spiritual and physical illnesses. The only way to do it; to protect happiness, health and inner-peace, is being positive.

And the way to be positive starts from positive thinking.

Nowadays, those are the things being told behind closed doors to businessmen, uber-directors, sportsmen, politicians, artists and thinking people in workshops. A good education in expensive, exotic schools, good references, experiences may guarantee success for some time at work. A good career at work naturally eases to gain a seat at social life too.

But DOES NOT GUARANTEE being healthy, happy and peaceful.

What is more, struggle against losing the existing position, fights for protection of acquirements, stresses the one out according to the rules of brutal capitalism and makes even more unhappy. World’s leading businessmen, directors, Hollywood stars, musicians, actors pay a price by losing their happiness, health  and inner-peace, for the stress they have in direct proportion to their existing position. The ones who can not find a way out  for a new life, can become helpless even if they are ready to lose more than they earned in order to have them again.

The ones who have not meet yoga yet, may feel desperate or suppose that problems are insoluble.

But it is impossible not to realize the change when you make room for yoga in your life. Yoga is a system of information that is formed as the centerline of breath, stence and concentration.
