Today, I had a panic attack. Not on a crowded train, or an airplane, or in school, or any of the expected places. It was in my yoga class, which my therapist recommended for me, while I was in a dead-body position. FML

Today, I took my first yoga class ever. Everything was going fine until it was time to stand up from the floor. My knees made a sound like snapping wood, my balance disappeared, and I nearly took out the lady next to me while trying to recover. She helped me up like I was part of her family. FML

I had to look up what that position was. Not sure why that counts as a "pose" or a "position". You're basically just lying on the floor. Now, with that out of the way, I can actually relate to this quite well. I've had panic attacks come right out of the blue while just looking out my window at the hills. No triggers, no real reason for it, it just happens. Sorry it happened to you while you were in yoga class though, I feel for ya!

wow, you just lie there. what's to panic about? I don't understand how you got through the whole class without freaking out, and then during the most relaxing time..you lose it. haha wierd.

I went to Yoga right after my best friend died in a car accident and I was badly hurt in a different car accident. Same thing happened to me in the exact same position, of course the instuctor put emphasis on the dead body part and imagining becoming part of the earth again. I was 16 and it sent me over the edge, it was my first panic attack. I stopped going to Yoga but picked it up about 3 years later without a problem though, it's very relaxing! Anyways, maybe you should find a different instructor or skip the dead body pose.
