So I've been considering taking yoga because I heard its good for the muscles and to calm yourself. So has anyone tried it specially for anxiety? Has it helped? I try to go the most natural way. I'm not a big pill taker especially with anxiety. Please help.

    Yoga if you are flexible is great. The breathing techniques you will learn and mediation techniques are absolutely worrth their weight in gold.

    Yes, I do yoga and it helps a lot. You should also do some cardio. They say people with anxiety should exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes a day. It does help.
