Hi
I have found a yoga class local to me and it is on tomorrow lunch time and i am dtermined to go but can someone please help me with some hints or tips to gatting there, staying there and trying to enjoy it?
I have health anxiety, mainly about anaphalactic shock, which i know cant happen from yoga, but my other health panic which has been simmering for many years is asthma. I have avoided going out too much, avoided nything physical and always have in the back of my mind that i will have asthma attack, i may ahve mild asthma according to my dr but thinks it is axiety hyperventilation, though if is asthma is so mild would not stop me from doing anything, i take my peak flow over and over and tighten my chest up so much. i'm trying to relax my chest and do very slow tummy breathing and this has helped so much.
As i say, i am determined to go, i have sat indoors for too long and avoided people and activities, but i have to walk into the centre, there will be people milling around, i'll be to scared to talk to them, worry they think i'm stupid, then ahve to do the exercises, i know i will feel tight in the chest, how would you guys reassure yourself that you were in fact breathing ok and carry on instead of running back to the car?
