5 Yoga Poses That Help Reduce Anxiety

The hustle of life have become a serious cause of stress and anxiety for most of us. Anxiety is a disorder that sort of instigates fear, worry, apprehension, and nervousness. These emotions further affect how we behave, and if prolonged, they can affect you physically as well. Anxiety is unsettling, and while a mild bout may not have serious repercussions, severe anxiety can have a major impact on our everyday lives. Follow these five yoga poses to get your anxiety under control.
1. Ustrasana
Camel Pose (Ustrasana) is a backbending yoga posture that opens the entire front side of the body. It is an intermediate level back-bending yoga posture known to open Anahata (Heart chakra). This yoga posture adds flexibility and strength to the body and also helps in improving digestion.
2. Setu Bandhasana
In sanskrit ‘Bridge’ means ‘Setu’, ‘Bandha’ means ‘Lock’ and ‘Asana’ means ‘Pose’. The poses look like the shape of the bridge, so this pose is called as bridge pose. This rejuvenating backbend will open your chest up and keep your spine flexible. Setu Bandhasana will also help to prepare you for more intense backbends. Basically this pose is effective in relaxing the body and reducing stress.
3. Baddha Konasana
Badhakonasana is also popularly known as the Butterfly Pose because of the movement of the legs during the posture, giving the appearance of a butterfly flapping its wings. Targeting primarily the legs, it is the perfect antidote to relax and stretch the muscles of the legs. This yoga pose will relax your body, mind and soul that will comfort your tired feet.
4. Uttana Shishosana
The extended puppy pose (uttana shishosana) is a simple beginner level yoga asana that soothes the mind and strengthens the spine. Extended puppy pose is a similar asana to the familiar and restful child’s pose (balasana), but provides a greater stretch to the spine. This asana provides a beneficial stretch to the spine and shoulders, and offers a release to the neck. It is thought to be an excellent respite for chronic stress or tension in the shoulders and upper spine.
5. Dhanurasana
Dhanurasana or the Bow Pose is one of the 12 basic Hatha Yoga poses. It is also one of the three main back stretching exercises. It gives the entire back a good stretch, thus imparting flexibility as well as strength to the back. This pose is so called because it looks like an archer's bow, the torso and legs representing the body of the bow, and the arms the string.

Very interesting. I will try it.

[@RichardMcWolff]

Thank you for your good explanation about how to get into position. I'm a 63 year old man living with Diabetes 2 and not sure what's changed in my body these past few months but have been having HORRIBLE anxiety attacks that come on during sleep or at times late morning with no warning. I've tried tapping and breathing exercises to no avail. I've tried the hands together position that's supposed to help the bodies energy to for a full loop that does help a little but then "yoga" kept coming up for me in my mind so decided to search for it on TH-cam and your video was the first in the list and I think this will do just fine for me. Thank you so very much!

The poses are supposed to be done right after circulation of the chakras because circulation of the chakras causes respiration(inhalation) and when the body is stretched and the lung are stretched they receive more oxygen.

Is there a certain order to be following when doing yoga poses? For example, I do bhujangasana followed by Dhanurasana followed by natarajasana followed by Ustrasana. Is that order okay? Thank you for your helpful videos 😊
