Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. The
the negative impact of modern developments on the mind has led to many
mental and physical disorders among adolescents.
Because of social, technological, and various other changes taking
place, the students have to keep on learning more and more in order to
acquire and maintain a superior quality of knowledge and maintain
psychological and physical balance in life. This modern requirement of
training and equipping the mind with more than the body can endure in fact causes
strain, disorder, and even sickness in adolescents whose mind is forced to
carry a bigger load than it is capable of sustaining. Consequently, their life
becomes full of burden and they tend to live a life devoid of happiness. For
many adolescents, stress is so often experienced that it has become a way of
life. Stress is not always bad. In fact in small doses, it can help one to perform
better in academics and other fields under pressure as it motivates one to do
one's best. But when one is constantly running in emergency mode, one's
mind and body have to pay the price.
Yoga is recognized as one of the most important and valuable heritage
of India. Today the whole world is looking towards yoga for the answer to
various problems as it has proved to be useful for all persons, and for the
good of humanity. The practice of hatha yoga by using a lot of breathing and
stretching exercises apart from releasing stress helps in toning the muscles.
Similarly, music is also known to have a soothing effect on our bodies and mind.
So the practice of hatha yoga along with music further helps one to be agile and
at the same time relaxes the body and mind. It is an effective method to
obtain control of one's latent powers. The music sets the atmosphere helping
one to introspect and calming the senses. Thus hatha yoga with music can
help students to connect between mind and body to achieve a better level of
reflection and relaxation that will be facilitating better functioning to feel
motivated to achieve better in their academics and can rescue and alleviate or
eliminate many types of psychophysical ailments caused due to stress
among adolescents and generate a feeling of well-being.
