Moving Through Tension
Stress and tension can show up in the body in many ways. Shallow breathing, muscle tingling and restlessness are just a few examples.
Movement can be one of the quickest ways to release stuck energy and restore balance in the body naturally.
My top 4 practices
MINDFUL MOVEMENT
The gentle, mindful pace helps you stay present. Going to a class, rather than working out at home can make it even more effective.
exercising outdoors
Fresh air, a sunrise or sunset and the rhythm of your breath. Endorphins can create a feeling of lightness and relaxation, easing stress and tension.
somatic dance with shaking
Free-flow movement to release stuck energy. Move how your body wants. There are no rules, just whatever feels natural.
breathing techniques
Simple breathing exercises can help if you wake up feeling anxious. A short practice in the morning can make a difference.
