Stress results when the mind, body or emotions receives an overload of stimulus, whether good or bad. Workplace stress occurs when the mind is not able to handle day-to-day events and challenges. Ayurveda and yoga are easy to incorporate in their busy professional life. Yoga, which is a practical philosophy, is the best way to overcome stress at the working place known as occupational stress. Ayurveda and yoga are providing promising solutions to it.
