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.
In this 60-minute class, you'll try “Dynamic Stretch for the Front Line of the Body”, “Wide-Legged Forward Bend” and “Seated Half Lotus Forward Bend”. Toward the end, you'll practice the breathing exercise “Alternate Nostril Breathing Pranayama”. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
After a journey, a workout or a busy day, you can set aside this hour for yourself.
Don't force a stretch in a painful area. If you feel pain or excessive tension, reduce your range of motion.
