Anxiety

Dear Mukunda,
I have a student, who suffers from anxiety - it has pretty much taken over her life, although I noticed that her spirits are getting better since I started with her a few months ago. Are there specific poses that I should be incorporating into our classes? (She experiences nausea, dizziness, tingling, etc. - not during class much, but she tells me her experiences) Thank you so much,
Michelle

Just doing a full regular yoga practice makes a huge difference. You just need to be sure you include all the elements of sadhana as per my chanting list handout i give at all workshops. There should be exercise elements for each of the five koshas - physical, pranic, positive thinking, reading wise books, searching out where is my joy? The entire practice is needed as Patanjali says in Yoga Sutras II, 28 “by sustained practice of all the component parts of yoga (all the 8 limbs) the impurities dwindle away and wisdom’s radiant light shines forth.” namaste Mukunda
