Worrying about the results of the board exam, or the parents’ response to the report card, first meeting or work interview. Nervousness — We’ve all gone through these moments. Fear is also very important, like salt in food, so that we remain disciplined, focused and dynamic.

The problem starts when this fear continues to dominate and interfere in our daily lives. Then it can take the form of an anxiety disorder, extreme discomfort or fear of something unknown that needs to be treated, and that is where yoga proves useful.
