Does yoga really help with anxiety? Yes, it works like a charm.
Research conducted on 52 women with depression and anxiety has shown that their symptoms decreased dramatically after 12 sessions of hatha yoga. In recent years, yoga has become a widely known method of relaxation. Some yoga instructors even arrange their classes towards combating specific issues, such as anxiety or panic disorder.
But how does yoga actually help us calm down? Yoga postures (asanas), consisting of stretching, lengthening, and muscle balancing, work towards relieving the physical discomforts induced by anxiety.
