Hello and welcome!
Join me for a mindful breathing and movement class to help re-regulate your nervous system during moments of anxiety and/or panic.
This flow focuses on deep breathing, synchronizing our movement with our breath, and heart-opening stretches to break out of the suffocating chest tightness that often accompanies anxiety and panic.
If you enjoyed this class, please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel for more mental health-focused yoga videos :)

I have panic disorder and I was having a really bad panic attack and experiencing derealization. This video helped to calm me down and make me feel grounded again, I cried after. Thank you ❤

I’ve been dealing with panic attacks w/shortness of breath. Never done yoga before so I thought I’d give this video a try and it helped sooo much. My chest feels expanded and emotions have calmed down. The last pose made me cry happy tears. 😭 I appreciate this video, thank you Caitlin. ✨

I was having anxiety and it keeps coming in waves of unpleasant feeling, suddenly come and go without i cant control them. What's worse is that my brain keep searching for the unpleasant feelings. I opened youtube and found this video and try this yoga, it really works!! My feelings become more calm, my mind gets better. This is the second time I do this yoga and I plan to do this routinely to set myself free from anxiety. Thank you for this useful video!

If you find the initial breathing exercise confusing, please watch this video first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldWHpaSeqp6vnZc.html 2. A more beginner-friendly version can be found here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q52ppaRjqZuYmGg.html 3. This is a fast-paced flow geared toward active anxiety and panic attacks.
