"The relaxation response after yoga may offer the ability to face the situations in a relaxed state of mind and perform with utter ease and effortlessness. This is described as one of the quoted definitions of yoga, ‘yogah karmasu kaushalam’ by Sri Krsna in the Bhagavadgita, which means ’yoga is a special skill of action in relaxation’. This was observed with yoga practices in musicians with the relative reduction in performance anxiety, musculoskeletal conditions, mood and flow experience. Yoga practices prior to exams in medical students showed improved concentration, improved efficiency, increased attentiveness, and significant reduction in number of failures.
‘Disappointed, upset, irritable, hostile’ are different facets of anger resulting from unsatisfied desires or the inability to cope. All this is described in the Bhagavadgita as violent speed of mind resulting in anxiety or depression. These have shown reduction in this study. Benefits of yoga practices for rapid stress reduction and anxiolysis among distressed women, betterment of mood in psychiatric inpatients, and reduction in symptoms of depression are reported."
