Yoga support for Anxiety
A slow grounding sequence that encourages longer breathing, reduced muscle tension and a return to the present moment.
About this resource
When anxiety puts the body on high alert, predictable movement can offer a steady focus. The sequence can be shortened, repeated or completed with eyes open. The infographic offers eight accessible positions that may be completed as a sequence or chosen individually. There is no requirement to hold a posture for a set time; comfort, breathing and personal choice come first.
How to use it
· Choose a quiet, safe space and gather any cushions, blankets or a chair you may need.
· Begin with one or two positions and build only if the practice feels supportive.
· Breathe naturally; never hold the breath or force a stretch.
· Use the guide as a prompt, not a test. Skip or adapt any position.
Included positions
Easy pose, Seated breathing, Cat-cow, Child’s pose, Forward fold, Legs on chair, Supine twist, Resting pose.
Important safety note
This resource is for general education and wellbeing. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, numbness, unusual shortness of breath or feel unwell. Seek individual advice if you have a medical condition, recent surgery or injury, are pregnant, or are unsure whether a movement is appropriate.
Until next time, give yourself space to breathe.
With love, Maggie
