Yoga for General Anxiety Disorder

I have been doing yogasanas with the help of some online resources (took courses from platforms like Edx and Coursera) from past two and a half years. However, I'm facing severe anxiety issues like high palpitations, rise in blood pressure etc since end of last December. Doing yoga poses which I used to do triggers my anxiety somehow (the ones which raises the heart rate). I need help in figuring out some yoga routine which would calm my sympathetic nervous system down and activate the parasympathetic nervous system to alleviate my anxiety. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Do any yoga poses make you feel you emotional?

Its weird - I'm normally a rather aloof person and it takes serious distress to make me cry, but then I do Balasana and instantly feel like all my emotions suddenly come to the forefront and theyre all trying to get out of the doorway all at the same time. I don't ACTUALLY end up crying, but feel like I might when I do this pose. Its not necessarily a bad feeling, but I also don't enjoy feeling vulnerable, tbh. Has anyone experienced this with Balasana or any other yoga poses?

Stacking hips in 3 legged dog variation - painful

So I think i probably already know the answer to this but wanted some reassurance. During some guided practices, when I attempt 3 legged dog and attempt to rotate my knee in the air, or even sometimes just leave it there in 3 legged dog, it causes me intense pain in the opposite hip (one with the foot on the ground) Now I’m sure this is down to me having extremely weak glutes and I just need to strengthen, but if anyone has any advice or recommendations to get my form on this pose correct I would be most grateful. If it helps, I have a tilted pelvis and ‘violin hips’ which may be contributing.

Running impacting Yoga capabilities

Hello - I have been practicing yoga for 6+ years regularly, particularly Vinyasa, Yin and Bikram. In the past couple of years I have taken up running and I'm currently training for a marathon (I did one last year too). I've noticed that during the periods of training I become less able to balancing poses and hip openers because my legs/lower part of my body is tight. However when I am not in training I can do them with ease. I know that I shouldn't but I am getting very frustrated with myself because I can't go where I know I can go in poses, eg, doing standing head to knee. I know this is an opportunity to practice acceptance and patience with my body but I would also like to get into these poses a little deeper to feel the benefits. I do stretch and take lots of salt baths etc which does help. But I was wondering if anyone has any advice or some tried and tested poses that can help loosen things up a little?
