Yoga differs between types of practices, and you might find that some soothe your anxiety more effectively than others. Here are a few to try:
Kundalini: Kundalini yoga combines physical movements with longer periods of meditation and deep breathing. If the movement is too much, Watson recommended trying still meditation. "Sometimes your body might need a break, but you can meditate every single day."
Yin: A Yin yoga class is slower and more restorative, holding poses longer to let your muscles and mind open up. "That can be really great for some people," Heeran said.
Hatha: You may find that more intense classes do more to calm your mind. "For some people, the idea of slowing down is almost too scary," Heeran said. "They may need more of a physical practice that can calm the mind enough to soften and relax." Some styles of Hatha yoga, the genre that most Western yoga classes fall under, may feel more like yoga-style workouts that increase your heart rate and work your muscles.
