Abstract

In the changing world, we have also changed our lifestyle. Health is the main concern of human civilization. Mental stress has gone up and is causing many health problems, especially in those who are in the health care sector. Nurses play the most important part in the patient care. This profession brings with it physical, mental, and emotional stress. Yoga can provide the nurses a way to help themselves and others live a healthy life. In this article I have given the concept and usefulness of Yoga for nurses. I have also suggested some yogic practices which can help the nurses maintain their own health as well.
