Some students who experience anxiety find that a vigorous āsana practice helps them to burn up their anxious energy, and they don’t want to practise in a gentle or restorative way. If you have a student like this in your class, what could you do?

Insist that they do a series of restorative yoga postures and a long savāsana at the end of class, as the research tells us that this is important to down-regulate the nervous system and reduce anxiety.
Gently suggest that they try out a short, gentle or restorative practice at the end of class and see how it works for them, but trust that they know what is best for them, and support them in this decision.
Never teach a vigorous āsana class to students experiencing anxiety.
None of the above.
