Psychologie Heute Compact 60: Yoga, Meditation, Achtsamkeit

Reducing feelings of stress, finding yourself, being more relaxed, becoming healthier: We can get closer to all of these goals with yoga, meditation or mindfulness. And in doing so, we ultimately get closer to ourselves and get to know ourselves better. While yoga involves practising postures such as downward-facing dog, meditation involves sitting quietly on a cushion. And how exactly does mindfulness work again? What effects do these three methods have and how do they differ? How do they help us in everyday life? What are their origins, how are they connected - and why are they so popular today? Read more about yoga, meditation and mindfulness in our themed issue from our Psychology Today compact series.
