The center's global patrons from Europe, Russia and other CIS countries have started coming for the residential programs or continue to take up online consultation and classes for yoga and meditation conducted by the experts at Prakriti Shakti.

Cijith Sreedhar, Chief Physician at Prakriti Shakti, Clinic of Natural Medicine by CGH Earth, said, "stress-inducing responses in your body are always initiated by non-conscious or subconscious activity, in which you are unaware of what you are thinking. These thoughts that lead to stress activate the fight or flight responses in your body. If the thought process we have is conscious and resourceful, then the reaction which happens in the body and mind will be positive and we remain healthy."

Sreedhar says through yoga therapy, individuals are equiped with the tools to overcome this flight or fight response in the body and kick-start the rest and healing mechanism. This, in turn, empowers oneself to take control of any difficult thoughts that disturb your balance.

Fight or flight response is a physiological reaction to an event that is perceived as stressful or fearful.

To be constantly in this state of being is not good for one's health. Since your stress is based on your thoughts, the best way to relax is to control the thought process.

Here, yoga therapy helps control fight or flight responses, and are used to intervene in reversing, controlling, or modifying mental health issues. In fact, yoga is one of the most effective modalities to treat and control influences like stress, anxiety, depression, and other stress-associated disorders, the statement added.

At CGH Earth's NABH accredited naturopathy clinic, Prakriti Shakti, yoga and naturopathy treatments address any medical condition. These therapies are accompanied with other yoga concepts like Chitta Vrittis to overcome the perception and attitudes in life that lead to stress.
