A calming 20-minute yoga practice for an anxious or restless mind, with tools for rumination and scattered thoughts.
Adriene created this practice for moments when your mind is ruminating, scattered or distracted, drawing on the yoga idea that the point of the practice is a stiller, clearer mind. It offers tools you can use when anxious thoughts pile up and invites a quiet pause for rest and release. A mat is all you need, and the video runs about 19 minutes.
Equipment setup
Who Is It For?
Anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious or mentally restless who wants a gentle, grounding yoga practice at home.
Who Is It Not For?
Not the pick if you want a sweaty, strength-focused workout; this is a quiet practice aimed at calming the mind.
Key Benefits
Helps you slow down racing thoughts, find a quiet moment of rest and return to a clearer, calmer state of mind.
Things to Keep in Mind
Move gently within a comfortable range and stop if something hurts; yoga is not a substitute for professional support if anxiety is persistent.
