Mindful Morning Yoga for Anxiety Relief

Start your day with a gentle, mindful morning yoga practice. In just over 15 minutes, you'll practice a variety of techniques to help you find relief from anxiety. This routine provides gentle movement, body scan, mindful breathing, a healing mudra (hand gesture), and mantras or affirmations for the rest of your day. Use this practice to remind you that you have the ability to face whatever the day might bring.

"Yoga teaches us to deal with each task in the day as it arises, and then to put it down." ~B.K.S. Iyengar

Skills and techniques included in this practice:
Gentle movements to stretch and soothe your body
Body awareness and body scan for grounding
Extended exhale breath practice to encourage relaxation
Mudra and mantras to use for anxiety relief any time of day

This mindful yoga session is ideal for beginners, seniors, and anyone wanting a yoga practice to support their nervous system. With my dual expertise as a certified yoga teacher and a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer this and other yoga practices to provide holistic benefits for your overall well-being.
