  • Hello and welcome!
    Join me for a mindful breathing and movement class to help re-regulate your nervous system during moments of anxiety and/or panic.
    This flow focuses on deep breathing, synchronizing our movement with our breath, and heart-opening stretches to break out of the suffocating chest tightness that often accompanies anxiety and panic.
    If you enjoyed this class, please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel for more mental health-focused yoga videos :)

    I was having anxiety and it keeps coming in waves of unpleasant feeling, suddenly come and go without i cant control them. What's worse is that my brain keep searching for the unpleasant feelings. I opened youtube and found this video and try this yoga, it really works!! My feelings become more calm, my mind gets better. This is the second time I do this yoga and I plan to do this routinely to set myself free from anxiety. Thank you for this useful video!

    Hello everyone! I am so touched by all of your kind words and feedback. A few things I want to address from the comments:
    1. If you find the initial breathing exercise confusing, please watch this video first: ua-cam.com/video/_oWrAmE8Kmc/v-deo.html
    2. A more beginner-friendly version can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/u7yrA2D54h4/v-deo.html
    3. This is a fast-paced flow geared toward active anxiety and panic attacks. If you are looking for something slower and more relaxing, check out this yin flow: ua-cam.com/video/4E4FQDGqgSs/v-deo.html
