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 20-minute class, you'll try “Warrior 2 Pose”, “Plank Pose” and “Cat Pose”. In the Warrior poses, you'll work on leg strength and core stability. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
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.
