The Ministry of Ayush has highlighted various yoga poses for their mental and physical health benefits.

Initial reports focused on Shavasana, a pose involving lying still to manage stress, anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia. Practicing this pose for 10 minutes daily is noted to improve sleep quality and help regulate blood pressure.

Subsequent information detailed the benefits of Shashakasana, or Rabbit Pose. This posture is described as a method for calming the mind to reduce stress and anxiety, while also aiding the digestive system by alleviating constipation and strengthening digestion. It may further assist with spinal flexibility and back pain relief.
