Yoga to release muscle tension combines movements and stretches for different parts of the body. Paying attention to how you feel can help you notice habitual tension and find more comfortable ways to move.
This 20-minute class features “Reclining Upward Arm Stretch”, “Reclining Angle Pose 2” and “Abdominal Contraction Pose”. Towards the end of the class, you'll practice the breathing technique “Alternate Nostril Breathing Pranayama”. You'll finish with a rest lying down.
Don't force a stretch in a painful area. If you feel pain or excessive tension, reduce your range of motion.
