Anxiety is defined as – mental or emotional troubles leading to long term tensions or mental fatigue which creates disturbances in our energy flow. Some common symptoms are: Experiencing tiredness, agitation and anger, increased heart rate, sleeping difficulties, lack of concentration.
This soothing, calming sequence will eventually help with the flow of breath work to bring enough oxygen to the brain to help relax the nerves and reduce the stress hormones, like cortisol and adrenaline and also stimulates metabolism with the increase in the energy flow, through the spine.

Dearest Doris…💚💚💚
My mommy already put a long comment/testimonial about this video and all the wonderful benefits that come from it on your YouTube page….
but she didn’t tell everyone what I like about you and your yoga….🩷
It’s within 5 minutes of class starting with you that I come to the middle of the couch and start to wiggle and squirm and bark and throw a big fit which is actually just me getting any stagnant energy out as you describe it….and then I go straight to resting pose for the rest of the class.
I also do the puppy pose and downward dog pose daily and benefit very much from them!! The throat poses you teach too….. I do those often!
I am always stretching my neck back and up and doing a spinal twist….twisting in 3 different ways at once….and I really love to go outside for a walk every day!!
It makes me a very happy puppy!! I always hear you say that animals feel too and that is why I am sharing this with you. I may look like a dog but I feel and benefit from your work also!!
I don’t know what I would do had my mommy not found you…💞💞
Thank you very much for everything…….Miss Doris!!
You are the best!!
