Yoga for Anxiety Reduction: Breathe Into Calm
Chosen theme: Yoga for Anxiety Reduction. Step into a welcoming space where breath, gentle movement, and mindful attention help quiet the inner storm and restore a steady sense of ease.
Foundational Poses to Soothe the Nervous System
Knees wide, big toes touching, belly and chest draped over a bolster or folded blankets. The pressure on your forehead signals calm, while slow breathing melts shoulder tension and invites grounded ease.
Foundational Poses to Soothe the Nervous System
Elevating your legs aids venous return, softens lower back fatigue, and calms the sympathetic surge. Add a light eye pillow and settle for six minutes to help restless thoughts drift like clouds.
Foundational Poses to Soothe the Nervous System
Soles of the feet together, knees supported by blocks, spine reclined over a bolster. This open, supported posture releases the belly and chest, making room for fuller, slower breaths that dissolve anxious bracing.
Begin seated with three calming breaths, move to Cat–Cow, then low Lunge with an easy twist, forward fold, and finish in supported Bridge. End in Legs Up the Wall to integrate the calm shift.
A 10-Minute Anti-Anxiety Micro-Flow
Design Your Home Sanctuary
Choose warm, indirect light and reduce visual clutter. Soft instrumental playlists or nature sounds can anchor attention while breathwork gently settles the nervous system without demanding focus excessively.
Design Your Home Sanctuary
Use a belt as a strap, thick books as blocks, and a firm pillow for a bolster. Comfort encourages consistency, and consistency is where anxiety slowly loses its foothold compassionately over time.
