Abstract: •A four-week video-delivered relaxation intervention (BREATHE) was found to be feasible for older adults with anxiety disorders.•The BREATHE intervention reduced anxiety, depressive, and somatic symptoms relative to a wait list control.•Contrary to our hypothesis, the BREATHE intervention did not have a significant effect on lifestyle adjusted function scores or on the number of personalized activity goals completed.
