Yoga for Mental Health

At Grounding Spot, we focus on yoga techniques that focus on mental fitness with physical fitness benefits. These techniques incorporate meditation. Meditation or “dhyana” when coupled with yoga can help strengthen mental fitness.

Like the physical practice of yoga, dhyana also forms a profound connection with the universe by doing mental exercises to bring you to a higher state of consciousness. This connection happens in savasana when you are in a meditative, peaceful state (Mohammad, 2019).
