Yoga Poses for Anxiety |
|
|
|
|
Besides the calming effects of a general yoga practice, restorative poses, inversions and forward bends are especially calming to the body and mind, helping to reduce and prevent excessive anxiety. If symptoms of fatigue, depression and heart palpitations are present, the qi or energy of the heart center may be weak, and heart opening poses would both strengthen and calm the heart chakra. Twists, hip opening poses and sidebends will all help to balance the emotions, and thus help reduce feelings of anxiety.

Go back to that state of pure being, where the I am" is still in its purity before it got contaminated with "this I am" or "that I am." Sri Ramana Maharshi |
Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
