Mind-body connections: Physical activity directly influences mental health

Getting physical does make you feel good, as the endorphins released during bodily activities directly influence your mental health. Try spending a day in front of your computer, typing away furiously—using the excuse that you have no time for exercise due to a client deadline. Maybe by evening, you feel like you've accomplished a lot on your computer, but how do you feel emotionally the next morning? Try doing this for a solid week.

Next, try to live a balance day—leading into week—whereby your calendar revolves around you and your physical activites, starting with an early morning Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga practice. When you are your high priority business meeting, or social engagement, you certainly feel more mentally, emotionally and psychologically stable as a whole being.

Yoga Robin takes your mind and body on a journey to health with an asana practice customized to you and captures your moments with poetic copy for all to see

"You may dread the treadmill or hate lifting weights, but people who are more physically active tend to report higher levels of excitement and enthusiasm than their less-active peers. We've long known that exercise serves as a powerful feel-good tool, able to help fight off depression and anxiety."

New research on mind-body connections concludes that you will feel significantly better on a day when you are more physically active, and that your overall levels of physical activity tend to correspond to feeling good in general.
