Feeling stressed out or anxious? This forward fold helps to chill you out fast! 😎
Place your feet hip width or wider keeping them parallel to each other, bend your knees so there is no strain in your hamstrings and let your upper body hang heavy by grabbing your elbows. Allow your shoulders to release down by your ears, relax the jaw and unclench the muscles in your face. Take deep breaths feeling the lungs expand and contract with each inhale and exhale. The weight of your head helps to create traction in the spine, allows blood to flow to the brain and assists in creating an overall sense of calmness.
Next time you need a stress break, try it out for 5-10 long breaths and see how you feel. ❤
**We don't suggest doing this when your boss is speaking to you though! 😜
