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.
In this 15-minute class, you'll practice “Chair Kriya in Deep Squat”, “Supported Warrior 3 Pose” and “Dynamic Bridge”. In Warrior III, you'll balance on one leg and pay attention to the position of your pelvis. The class ends with time to rest lying down.
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.
