Yoga to calm your anxious thoughts.
Ten minutes a day
Yoga combines exercise with meditative movements and breathing. This makes it a great way to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.
Yoga, a low-impact form of exercise that lowers stress hormones in our bodies while simultaneously increasing beneficial brain chemicals like endorphins and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). These feel-good chemicals help decrease anxiety and improve mood. Yoga can help lower our fight, flight or freeze response by activating our parasympathetic nervous system and lowering negative emotions like depression, anxiety and anger.
Practising Yoga is a self-discovery journey toward improvement. It begins with accepting yourself at all levels — and then experiencing the physical and mental benefits that naturally follow. Even 10 minutes a day can help improve mood and lower our anxiety levels.
