Yoga for Anxiety

In the US approximately 18% of the population can be diagnosed with some form of anxiety disorder at any time.  However, nearly everyone has experienced anxiety for various periods of time.

Major symptoms of anxiety affect the body, energy, emotions, mind, and spirit.  Therefore, yoga is an excellent resource to alleviate anxiety, especially Satyananda Yoga.  Satyananda Yoga integrates practices that address all aspects of our being, cultivating a state of awareness that can help you become more objective and present, resulting in decreased stress and anxiety.
