By regulating our breathing pattern we can balance the brain, linking the rational left hemisphere with the more sensory right hemisphere. Yoga brings about hormonal balance and stabilises the endocrine system. The practice of relaxation techniques based in Yoga (or any type of relaxation techniques that deliver what they promise) balances cortical activities and the nervous and endocrine systems, thus reducing the body’s redisposition to react to stress. As a result, the body produces less adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol, all stress hormones and a state of harmony is achieved.
