Setting one’s needs first and finding time for relaxation, meditation, or exercise are just a few of the simple self-care techniques that can dramatically improve the quality of life of a woman professional.
By setting personal boundaries, they indicate to the rest of the family that this is their “me” time and that they should not be disturbed by others. Only by starting with simple acts of self-care like yoga can women regain some of their own time for important self-care.
Some women have hormonal imbalances that put them at risk for physical, psychological, and emotional problems. Yoga helps women manage their lives by creating a habit that improves bodily strength, hormone balance, and self-acceptance.
When combined with a breathing practice like pranayama, 30-45 minutes of yoga can reduce stress, improve sleep quality, and control essential biological processes like heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure, among others. Simply take time out of their hectic routines in the morning or evening.

Bhramari Pranayama
Preparatory conditioning can be done in Sukhasana or any other meditation pose. If you can’t sit on the floor, sit on a solid chair with an erect backrest. Maintain a straight upper body and an erect spine. Inhale completely, then exhale slowly, evenly, and consistently from the nostrils with a little power, generating a humming sound like a black bee.
Throughout the practice, keep your mouth closed. The sound does not have to be too loud, but it should cause vibrations. Practice 5 rounds per session, pausing between rounds.
