Understanding anxiety & stress
Anxiety affects 44.9 million Indians — and those numbers are rising steeply in the aftermath of the pandemic. It is among the most undertreated conditions in the country, with a 95% treatment gap for common mental disorders. Yet the very mechanisms that drive anxiety — a dysregulated nervous system locked in sympathetic overdrive — are exactly what pranayama and yoga nidra directly and measurably counteract.
Our anxiety service operates on two levels: immediate tools for the moment of acute anxiety, and practices that measurably reduce baseline anxiety over weeks and months. Research demonstrates that yoga activates the vagal nerve and shifts the autonomic nervous system from sympathetic (fight/flight) to parasympathetic (rest/digest) state — the physiological opposite of the anxiety response.
“A systematic review and meta-analysis finds that yoga nidra significantly reduces stress and anxiety, with a positive effect on overall well-being. Yoga and pranayama practices show consistent evidence for lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression across populations.”
