Release stress with Yoga Poses

If you feel the stress creeping up on you again, try some simple Yoga poses to release it and observe your body´s reaction.

Child´s Pose – one of the most grounding poses in Yoga. Whenever the world gets too overwhelming, just curl up in this pose for 5 minutes and feel your body slowly relaxing.

Legs up the wall – with this pose you bring the blood out of your legs into your belly, which helps to enter the Parasympathetic Nervous System to relax and digest. Spend 5 minutes in this pose and benefit from it.

Warrior III – or any other balancing pose like tree pose will help you get out of your busy mind. Just give it a try and see what happens with your thoughts when holding the Warrior III for 2 minutes.

Bridge Pose – especially supported this pose will help de-stress. If you add deep belly breathing it might even decrease the feeling of anxiety.

Forward Fold – helps release headache and tension in your head, decreases the level of stress in your body and reduces fatigue.
