The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a psychomotor (a body-oriented therapy) group intervention can be feasibly delivered to a group of young adults (age 18-35) with anxiety symptoms within a higher educational setting. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is it possible to recruit and retain participants in this intervention? * Is the intervention acceptable and tolerable to participants? * Do participants complete the planned sessions and assessments? Participants will: * Attend one weekly group session over ten consecutive weeks * Participate in active and contemplative body-based exercises * Complete questionnaires about their mental health and interviews about their experiences of participating
