YOGA AND MENTAL HEALTH: A CONCEPTUAL NOTE

Psychology

A healthy mind is as important as a healthy body to your overall well-being. Good mental health helps you feel good about yourself, connect with others, find meaning in life and thrive at home, work and play. Good mental health doesn’t mean you will never be sad, insecure or worried. But good mental health can help you keep problems in perspective. Mental health is a positive concept related to the social and emotional well-being of individuals and communities. The concept is culturally defined, but generally relates to the enjoyment of life, ability to cope with stresses and sadness, the fulfilment of goals and potential and a sense of connection to others.
