Benefits of Deep Breathing for Anxiety. Deep breathing has become one of the most popular relaxation modality today because of its benefits. It does not take much to inhale air slowly through the nose and then exhale out in a similar slow manner. Deep breathing assists in keeping the diaphragm muscles fit and flexible as well.
Yoga. In a small 2007 study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, all of the study's participants who had taken yoga classes experienced significant reductions in depression, anger, anxiety, and neurotic symptoms. The findings led the researcher to recommend yoga as a complementary treatment for depression. In 2012, another group of researchers conducted a review of trials that examined the effects of yoga on anxiety and stress. In 25 out of the 35 studies, subjects experienced a significant decrease in stress and anxiety symptoms after starting yoga. The great thing about yoga is that besides the stretching and core strengthening, there is a tremendous focus on breathing, which helps to slow down and calm the mind, says Michaelis.
