Yoga for anxiety relief brings your attention to movement, body position, and breathing. Strengthening poses and stretches give you something specific to focus on: your muscles as they work and the sensations in your body.
Your 10-minute class includes “Chair Kriya in Deep Squat”, “Chair Pose”, and “Plank Pose”. In Chair Pose, you'll feel your leg muscles working. Pay attention to your balance and torso alignment. You'll lie down to rest at the end of the class.
Choose a level of effort and a breathing pattern that don't increase your anxiety, and don't force yourself to hold a pose for a long time. If anxiety interferes with everyday life, seek professional help.
