The Power of Breath: Yoga's Psychological Benefits | Anjali Mehta | TEDxYouth@SAS

Anjali Mehta explores the psychological benefits of yoga through her own personal experience as a teenage yoga instructor. She shows the impact yoga can have on calming one's mental state through the simplest of actions: breathing.
Anjali Mehta is a junior at Singapore American School as well as a yoga instructor and yoga therapist. When Anjali started yoga, she was 10 years old. Amidst the extreme expectations for her future, yoga brought her comfort and relaxation; after training to teach at Vyasa Yoga, she started teaching at only 14 years old. She has taught at many places, including the Indian High Commission, Nola Yoga, as a PE teacher for the elementary school at SAS, and even as a trainer for future yoga instructor. Her passion for yoga is boundless, and she plans to continue her involvement for years to come. Other than yoga, Anjali shares a deep passion for clinical psychology which she would like to pursue in the future. She is also a major foodie, writing, reading and is a guitar and badminton player.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    very good, I am happy to see now people are understanding the power of yoga & meditation. this works on the concept of " prevention is better than cure" when any one do these regularly then his brain function as well as body functions will work in a better way, there will not be less or no chance of any diseases.

    I agree with what she said. A veryvery ancient form of yoga: "Swara Yoga"- is entirely dedicated to this. I had learned about it 2 years back through a book "The Tantric science of Brain breathing" written by a female Australian sanyasi Swami Muktibodghananda. That book completely changed my understanding of this deep science called Yoga.

    I agree that breath is the basis of meditation. I don’t sit down and meditate for hours at a time but when I practice archery I find the slow methodical steps matched with a breathing exercise (which is a necessary element of any shooting sport) it is a form of meditation for me. Everything falls away and I just focus on that one moment and series of movements
