Have you felt worried, insecure, scared, nervous or simply fatigued? Eliminating anxiety has become an increasingly frequent concern, since its influence not only affects the emotional state but also the physical one.

There are many alternatives to treat it, but the practice of yoga is ideal to eliminate anxiety, because it involves a balance between mind and body.

To eliminate the anxiety caused by your daily activities or the different family and professional situations, GetQoralHealth presents you 7 postures, with information from Journal Yoga :

1. Paschimottana . Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Inhale and lean forward until you touch your feet with your hands. Stay in this position for one to 3 minutes. With this you stimulate your spine, liver and digestion. It also reduces blood pressure, anxiety and fatigue.

2. Uttanasana. Stop, place your hands on the hips. Exhale and bend forward. With straight legs bring your hands to the tips of your feet. Stay in this one last 30 seconds to a minute. With your practice you will reduce mild depression and strengthen muscles and reduce insomnia.

3. Ardha Chandrasana. Start with the triangle posture (separate feet, right leg rotated 90 ° outward, left leg inward, arms raised at shoulder height, palms down).

Flex the right knee and bring the tips of the fingers of the right hand to the floor. Stretch the right leg while raising the left until it is parallel to the ground. Just like the previous one, just do it for 30 seconds to a minute. Ideal for strengthening coordination and balance.

4. Anjali Mudra. Sit comfortably, inhale and bring the palms of your hands to your chest. Rest your thumbs slightly on the sternum. Press your hands firmly, but evenly against each other. Maintain this position for 5 minutes. This allows you to eliminate stress and calm your nerves.

5. Janu Sirsasana. Sit on the floor, stretch your legs in front of you. Inhale and bend the right leg, until your heel touches the inside of your thigh. Keep it last for one to 3 minutes. Stimulates the liver and kidneys, in addition to alleviating the discomforts of menopause.

6. Utthita Trikonasana. With an exhalation, separate your legs, then bring your right hand to your right ankle. Turn your head to the opposite side as if looking at the sky and stretch the other arm in the same direction. Keep it last for 30 seconds to one minute.

7. Uttana Shishosana . On all fours, stretch your hands and arms forward as far as you can, always in a comfortable position. You only have to do it for 30 seconds. With this asana you will eliminate stress and improve the condition of your spine.

Remember to perform 30 minutes of daily exercise will not only allow you to maintain your weight, it will also help you to feel better emotionally. Try it!
