Release and Relax

Breathing practices, joint releasing and relaxation techniques

Two classes to help you Release and Relax. Explore the practice of breath awareness, a joint releasing sequence and a choice of relaxation techniques. Breath awareness helps settle the mind and is useful to develop and maintain presence. The joint releasing series helps to release physical and mental tension, loosen up the joints and also strengthen and lengthen weak and tight muscles. The movements are slow and gentle and therefore suitable for complete beginners and those with conditions for which strenuous exercise is not advised. Each class concludes with the deep relaxation technique Yoga Nidra and there is also a bonus relaxation Yoga Nyasa.

Please note all the content of this course is also included in the online course Yoga for Meditation.
