Exercise Instructions

Lay down and close your eyes. Inhale for a 5-count, then tense a muscle group for a 5-count, then release and exhale on a 5 count. Repeat this as you moving methodically from your toes to your head.

How This Somatic Exercise Works

When we tense and then relax our muscles, we activate the relaxation response of our nervous system. This process lowers the body's stress hormones, leading to a calmer state of being.
