Relaxation is an art, for there are various practices which one can develop and use to bring about relaxation of the mind and body, transforming life into an expression of well-being. Relaxation is also a science, for it is based on solid scientific fact.
Relaxation sounds easy- one merely closes the eyes and sleeps. But, in fact, for most people relaxation, deep relaxation, is very difficult. While resting, their minds are in a state of turmoil and their bodies are continually tossing and turning, and the muscles twitching The biggest obstacle to overcome is for people to actually take active steps to bring about relaxation, to develop and use the various techniques that are available. Because most people cannot relax, in the real sense of the word, they will find that their whole lives will change by just being able to relax. It is such a simple thing, but it can bring wonderful results.
Relaxation is essential in everyone's life. By relaxation we mean a release of tension in both the mind and body for a period of time to allow complete rest and revitalization. This is the whole reason for sleep, but because of the tension-filled lives that most people now lead in the daytime, sleep no longer performs its functions properly. Many people find that they don't relax even during sleep—they continue to worry and try to solve their problems. This does not lead to the rest that the body and mind require. People wake up in the morning still exhausted, and this state remains throughout the day. It is a vicious circle for they again go to sleep that same night with the accumulated tensions of the day as well as the exhaustion that has accumulated from numerous nights of insufficient rest during sleep. It is no wonder that when the weekend holidays arrive, many people spend much of their time sleeping they need it. It is for this reason that modern man needs to know systematic techniques that specifically induce relaxation. Sleep is still necessary, but 
it needs to be sup
implemented with techniques that quickly and efficiently remove worry and stress It seems to be a contradiction, but it is nevertheless true that those persons who can easily relax can do more work, can enjoy life more, need less sleep, and tend to have smoother social relationships in all spheres of life. Now you might ask, "What about lazy or lethargic people? They are completely relaxed yet not working." Actually this is something different. A lazy person is someone who is either full of so many mental disturbances that he is unable to direct his willpower towards some activity or achievement, or his mental makeup is such that he is reluctant to do anything. This is different from relaxation. A person who can truly relax is able to recuperate mental and physical power and focus it in one direction when required. This is in fact will power, the ability to direct one's whole being toward the attainment of one objective without distraction. Relaxation leads to strong willpower. Tension leads to dissipation of energy and attention in all directions.
During yoga classes wonderful changes can be seen in people. Many people walk into class with tension written on every line of their face and on every word they speak. Aggression pervades them. Their bodies are filled with tension, worry, and unhappiness. They start practices, not necessarily difficult ones, and slowly but surely the stress and emotional turmoil begins to evaporate. They generally don't know it, but the yoga teacher can see the transformation on their faces. The students only realize their relaxation at the end of the lesson when they find that they are smiling, really smiling, not superficially, for the first time in days, and that they are actually singing to themselves as they walk down the street. They find that in comparison to before the lesson, they are feeling light, carefree, and confident in themselves. This is not an exception but the rule. These people, by the systematic process of relaxation techniques, have transformed their entire outlook on themselves, others, and life in general.
This change may only last an hour or so, but it has a profound impact on the mind, contributing to a more relaxed outlook on life. This is a starting point from which you can begin to fully enjoy mental and physical relaxation as a normal part of your life, whether during intense activity, sleep, or otherwise, rather than as something you experience only occasionally, perhaps during yoga practice.
We want your life to be an example of relaxation and happiness. The way to do this is to develop the ability to relax at all times and in all circumstances. Everything you do in yoga relaxes and completely revitalizes the body and mind, whether it's through asanas, pranayama, meditation practices, or other methods. However, there are some special techniques that are very easy and provide relief, especially in less time.
