20-Min Yoga for Anxiety and Depression | Warm Up, Cool Down + Savasana

Описание: Feeling heavy, anxious, or low during your menstrual cycle? You are not alone. Hormone fluctuations before, during, or after your period can significantly impact mood, often leading to feelings of anxiety and depression.

This 20-minute therapeutic yoga flow is designed to provide emotional resilience and calm when you need it most. We focus on grounding poses, supported forward folds, and restorative breathing techniques to down-regulate the nervous system, reduce cortisol (stress hormones), and encourage a sense of inner safety and peace.

What this practice offers:

-Nervous System Reset: Slow, mindful movements and deep exhalations help shift your body out of the "fight-or-flight" response.

-Targeted Release: We gently release tension held in the hips and lower back, areas often connected to emotional stress and cycle discomfort.

-Mood Elevation: Restorative poses in the cool-down help to stabilize energy and lift heaviness, offering a gentle pathway back to balance.

Press play when you need a nurturing moment to soften the edges of anxiety and depression. Remember, showing up for yourself is the most powerful step you can take.
