She shared a picture of herself looking cheery in yoga gear, explaining how the practice helps her stay calm.
“After trying many different methods over the years to help with my #anxiety the one main thing that makes a difference for me is daily #Yoga practise,” she said.
“I find that it helps calm my thoughts, gain perspective and appreciate the ‘now’ instead of worrying about the future. And a little bonus is my body feels a lot better for it too, not just my mind! 😉🧘🏻♀️
“For anyone wondering where to start, I practise with @adrienelouise videos on YouTube.. she’s amazing! #notanad #gamechanger #yoga #namaste 🙏💛🌼”
It appears Samia is not alone in battling an anxiety disorder – her fans were quick to comment on the post with their own experiences.
“I might give this a go, I am seriously struggling with anxiety at the moment x thank you,” one fan said.
