Yoga
Each pose and movement helps you strengthen your body and your mind and as you go through a lesson you will likely find you are able to let go of stress and other worries and just focus on your body, how it moves, and on your breathing. At the end of lessons a lot of instructors do something called Savasana, or Mrtasana, where you lay on the floor on your back with your legs a little apart and your arms at your sides, palms up. This is a great way to relax your whole body as the instructor moves you through each muscle and relaxing it, staying still and comfortable as you do so.
Often this might be done with eyes closed but still staying alert just focusing on releasing negative thoughts and paying attention just to your instructor’s voice. There may be some relaxing sounds played in the background to encourage those attending to relax their minds and as well as their bodies. Breathing techniques are also used to slow your heartbeat until finally from the tips of your toes to the top of your head you are relaxed.
