anxiety and yoga

Participation in a two month yoga class may lead to significant reduction in perceived levels of anxiety in women who suffer from anxiety disorders. Yoga can be considered as a complementary therapy to psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. For many years research has been conducted to determine whether yoga can help patients going through infertility treatment. Although not directly responsible for improved pregnancy rates, yoga can help women through this difficult period of time through anxiety reduction. Warning: no hot yoga, however!
