This transformative online course includes…
Symptoms associated with anxiety are on the rise, impacting people of all ages and backgrounds.
Heightened fear and uncertainty can be difficult for all of us. This comprehensive program will support you to manage everyday stress and anxiety in a safe and supportive way.
Anxiety comes in many forms and expressions. Some people experience a feeling of recurring or constant overwhelm, specific phobias, panic attacks, social phobias, alternating bouts of anxiety and depression, unexplainable surges of anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions, PTSD, and more.
Each person experiences anxiety uniquely and medical research has not yet discovered the true cause of anxiety.
If you’re dealing with mental health issues, some forms of yoga can actually create adrenaline surges and tax your adrenal glands, increasing symptoms down the road. Gentle yoga, practiced in a specific way, offers us a way to soothe our nervous system and shift into a calmer state of being.

What People Are Saying About Yoga For Anxiety
This course has broadened my thought processes, curbed negative feelings and emotions, and increased my overall understanding of myself. Yoga for Anxiety has been so beneficial for me!”
DevaTree has done it again. I was very impressed with the Yoga for Anxiety online course. It was packed with so much useful and practical information and tools, more than expected. The materials, recipes, yoga flows, meditations, and tips gave me great tools for supporting my clients struggling with anxiety and for supporting myself. I continually reference the materials for inspiration. A beautiful experience. Thank you for making learning fun and for continually inspiring me to love myself a little bit more each day.
Mental health awareness was the reason I was drawn to yoga and it still amazes me how much the universe supported my journey. I loved all my courses with DevaTree but the Yoga for Anxiety course was the most impactful. I continue to use the tools daily as well as pass these tools on to others in my yoga classes. The knowledge shared in Yoga for Anxiety was life changing for me and I would highly recommend this course for personal growth.”
Yoga for Anxiety offered me rich new ways to support myself and my students through life’s difficult places. I came away with a deeper understanding of how to recognize and respond to anxiety with compassion. I feel profoundly immersed in yoga posture flows, philosophies, and nutritional practices that inspire me in nurturing my students. Thank you, Tamika and Carolyn!
I never thought I could come to a place of self-acceptance. It is still a work in progress, but this course is drawing me closer.
Yoga for Anxiety was a lifeline for me, lifting me out of a place of anxiety and stress when it was sorely needed. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to do this deep dive on anxiety, depression, PTSD and more importantly, how to offer this gift to my students and how to receive it myself. The yoga flows, informative talks, energetic practices, self-reflection, breath-work, meditation, music and specific healing foods, plus so much more, intermingle for an engaging and enlightening experience.
