Exercise Instructions

While standing up, inhale while arching the back and folding the arms in front of you. Exhale with an audible sigh while coming up, expanding the arms, pushing the chest forward, and leaning the head back.

How This Somatic Exercise Works

The Butterfly exercise stimulates your parasympathetic nervous system, which counters stress and induces feelings of balance. The rhythmic contraction and expansion of this exercise helps to break the cycle of overwhelming thoughts.
