🌿 Grounding & Breathwork (10 Minutes)
1️⃣ Seated Breath Awareness (2 Min) – Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on slow, deep belly breathing.
2️⃣ Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana) (3 Min) – Use your thumb and ring finger to alternate closing nostrils, promoting balance and calm.
3️⃣ Seated Side Stretches (2 Min) – Gently stretch side to side, creating space for breath and energy flow.
4️⃣ Cat-Cow Flow (3 Min) – Move rhythmically between Cat and Cow to release tension in the spine and cultivate ease.
As someone who loves therapy (it helps when you have a therapist you love like I do), reads things like “The Body Keeps the Score” & “Overcoming Trauma through Yoga” I think it’s important any time you’re dealing with anxiety to re-focus yourself.
So, while the warm-up above is good at relieving anxiety, if you’re anything like me, you probably need to one of two things:
- harness your anxious energy into something positive to move forward with your day
- procure energy in any way possible, because the latest anxiety attack sucked all energy out of your body.
So, for anyone reading this who’s looking to address their anxiety and process emotion via yoga, I’d love for you to continue moving with me through the next few sections.

Set an intention!
In yoga, you set an intention at the beginning of your practice. As a Christian, I like to choose bible verses that can lead my practice- and day- in a positive direction. Here are some of my favorites:
- Psalm 16:9 – “Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.“
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
