International Yoga Day is celebrated on June 21 every year. Meditation and yoga are receiving attention widely all over the world, due to the several studies which prove many benefits of yoga practices. Research has shown that yoga practices increase neurotransmitters, which regulate mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression.
Serotonin is one of the powerful neurotransmitters, which plays a key role in happiness and good mood. A deficiency of serotonin is associated with depression. Yoga can help with depression, as it boosts the serotonin level.
