There's no right or wrong way to do yoga, Heeran told us. And when you're establishing a practice, especially as a way to ease anxiety, it's key to give yourself "space and grace," Watson said. You probably won't see an overnight mental transformation, which is OK. "Just because you meditate or do yoga doesn't mean you're immune to anxiety," Watson explained. "What it means is that you're building up your nervous system so that, when you meet the challenges in your life, you're able to handle them that much more effectively."
