Use Yoga to Reduce Anxiety

The human life is very uncertain. One moment we are happy and another moment we are sad. Emotions are hard to control and because of that, we face a lot of problems in life. One such problem is the feeling of anxiety.

Some moments in life make us worried, stressed and anxious. Some people switch to drugs/alcohol or overeating unhealthy food for solving this problem. It might help but this is only a temporary situation and causes more harm than good. These methods will not solve the problem at the root cause.
