Yoga and Mental Health - From Anxiety to Empathy: Cultivating Inner Peace and Compassion

In today’s episode, I discuss the profound ways yoga can support us in navigating anxiety. Drawing from my own journey through school and college, where anxiety was a constant companion, I share how yoga became a sanctuary and a powerful tool for healing.

 

By embracing asana practices, engaging in breath work, and shifting our focus towards service and empathy, we can find substantial relief from anxiety. These elements are not just physical practices but gateways to cultivating a deeper sense of inner peace and community connection.
