Want to learn more on how Yoga can help reduce stress and anxiety? Here’s how…

If you’ve tried yoga before and didn’t like it, that could be due to the type of yoga that you’ve chosen.

Some types of yoga are intense with fast movements, which could be exactly the opposite of what you’re looking for! Try one of the more relaxing types instead.

Here are a few options:

1. Single Poses

This is great for those who don’t have a lot of experience with yoga and those looking for something simple. Try the Standing Forward Fold, the Thunderbolt Pose, Child’s Pose or the Eagle Pose for quick stress relief and relaxation.

2. Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa means “flow”, and it is a great option for those who love to pace themselves. This type of yoga is based on slow and relaxed movements and you should definitely consider the Vinyasa Yoga if you struggle with anxiety.

3. Restorative Yoga

Don’t be intimidated by its name! The Restorative Yoga is actually a series of 4 to 5 poses that you hold for a long period of time. It’s one of the best ways to achieve relaxation and increase blood flow through your organs and body without putting too much strain on yourself.

4. Yin Yoga

Often times dubbed the “Taoist” yoga, Yin Yoga strives to achieve deep relaxation through meditation and quiet repose. Practice it often, and you’ll easily reach a deep sense of peace while being completely relaxed and calm.
