Overcome Your Anxiety With Yoga

July 4, 2009

yogaanxityMany anxiety sufferers take medications, believing they are curing their anxiety disorders; however, anxiety drugs provide only temporary relief.  These drugs often cause side effects, including addiction, drowsiness, slurred speech, and dizziness.

Therefore, a lasting treatment and cure for anxiety has been sought.  Such a treatment is found in Yoga Therapy.

With yoga, a person need not worry about drug addictions and side effects.  All the person needs to learn are seating and breathing poses and techniques.

Healthcare professionals often use the following three poses during yoga therapy treatments:

1.    Standing Prayer Breath Pose - in this pose a person stands with the feet apart and hands clasped in a praying position. As the hands are raised, the person should inhale and relax the shoulders into the back.

While the person exhales, he or she should unclasp the hands, allowing them to sweep down to the sides. Then the person should bring back the hands to the original praying position.

The movements should be repeated three to ten times before the breathing order is reversed. By now, the breathing should be longer and the movements slower.

2.    Seated Yoga Mudra – this pose requires kneeling on the floor, keeping the spine straight and sitting back onto the heels. The person who finds this pose uncomfortable to do should place a pillow on the calves and hold his hands behind the back in a clasped position.

If clasping of the hand is difficult to do, a person should hold on to something while squeezing the shoulders together and lowering the hands behind the back.

The person should exhale while bending forward, at the hip, and keeping the back straight. Bending forward should continue until the forehead touches the floor. The body should be held in that position for three to ten steady breaths.

3.    Breathing Meditation – this pose not only relieves anxiety, but it helps a person create the most sense of peace and tranquility. It requires a person to sit in a chair or on the floor with one hand on each knee. Such a person should close his eyes and breaths through the nostrils.
