Scientific studies continue to show that yoga has a calming effect on the nervous system. Practicing specific yoga poses for anxiety disorder can activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the body's "rest and digest" mode—while reducing the dominance of the "fight or flight" stress response. Through breath-focused movement, yoga slows the heart rate, reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and enhances serotonin production. This biochemical shift helps regulate mood and reduces feelings of panic, worry, and unease.
