A 2025 review shows that slow pranayama gentle, rhythmic yogic breathing can reduce anxiety by increasing heart rate variability, enhancing vagal tone, and quieting overactive stress circuits in the brain. As an accessible, low cost practice, it offers a powerful complementary tool alongside standard anxiety treatments.
A 2026 systematic review of 129 RCTs finds that most “yoga for mental health” programs use a common trio: postures, breathwork, and relaxation/meditation, yet define yoga in many different ways.
