Worry Thwarts

Mainstream therapists are catching on to what yogis have always known: Yoga is one of the best ways to ease an anxious mind.

By Melanie Haiken

That's what I'm trying to do. I'm applying the same approach to yoga that I'm trying to use in other parts of my life: Show up, do your best, and let go of the consequences. If it's a good day and I can manage a one-legged Vrksasana (Tree Pose) without toppling, I'm happy. If not, I just stretch, breathe, and cultivate awareness: "Oh, worrying mind in yoga class."

Melanie Haiken is a freelance writer in San Rafael, California.
