When body awareness practices increase nervous system distress

Yoga makes my anxiety worse because focusing on my body makes me aware of how tense and uncomfortable I always feel.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Somatic practices can initially amplify awareness of chronic tension and dysregulation before providing relief, requiring gentle titration and nervous system support during the process.
