In a busy life, nobody gets a chance for mental rest. Even on Sundays, we take little rest. For a long time, people have not been bothered about mental health. This, in turn, has hampered daily activities. Mental health and peace are important to increase productivity. The power and benefits of Yoga are not hidden. For almost every problem or lifestyle issue, yoga has an answer. To keep mental health at peace, various asanas are mentioned by yoga practitioners.
There are two most important asanas, which have great effects to maintain mental peace. These two are Vajrasana and Anjaneyasana.
