Managing Anger Through Yoga

It is possible to  enhance hormones that reduce anger or negativity in you through certain yoga poses. All you need to do is concentrate on the poses and get into a meditative state while doing them.

I would recommend you to simply get to the pose, be mindful of how you look from above your body, concentrate on your pituitary ( a point just on your head) and forget anything else.

Here are few exercises which can be done on regular basis to help you control the anger and in turns helps you to think better in those difficult situations.

These poses does not require any equipment, but they also tame your mind and allow you to think clearly. The workout is to be done without a break and the entire sequence should be repeated two or three times.
