Stress is the one of the biggest challenges that we face, both at work and in our private lives. It can manifest as depression, anxiety, anger, irritability, restlessness, feelings of overwhelm, a lack of motivation, or an inability to focus. We have difficulty sleeping or want to sleep too much. Our minds race and we find it impossible to feel at peace.
Unfortunately, the consequences of chronic stress may be even more serious. Excessive cortisol causes damage to our bodies, we become addicted to habits that harm us and make poor decisions.
I experienced a prolonged period of high stress that lasted over 10 years. My father died suddenly when I was 25, I was in an unhappy relationship during that time and I suffered serious eating disorders as a method of coping with the stress.
Thankfully, I can tell you that all that is in the past, in no small part because of a daily yoga practice that has been a bedrock of my life for over a decade.
Yoga For Stress Relief
“Learn to relax. Your body is precious, as it houses your mind and spirit. Inner peace begins with a relaxed body.” Norman Vincent Peale
It’s very hard to think your way out of a stressful state but you can influence your physiology to alter your psychology. In yoga, when we slow down our breathing, reduce our heart rate and release tension from tight muscles, our brain perceives a reduction in the threat level and turns down the stress response. We switch from sympathetic “fight or flight” mode, to a more peaceful state of “rest and digest”, giving us some much needed clarity and the chance for restoration.
In This Course
In this 15-day stress relief course, I’ll take you through 15 sequences that combine deep, diaphragmatic breathing, long, passive stretches and body awareness techniques to trigger your relaxation response and lower your levels of stress. The poses that I have chosen are restorative and should be accessible, even to beginners. With repeated practice, we can train the body to switch more quickly and efficiently from a state of perpetual crisis into one of calm and clarity.
Our Objectives
-
To quiet the mind.
-
Release muscular tension.
-
Reduce aches and pains.
-
Trigger the relaxation response.

The course was missing some soundtracks or background music for enhancing relaxation, the pitch of the voice of the instructor wasn’t suitable as it was too high for enhancing relaxation, also the exercises were too quickly to be displayed, the transition between poses was too fast, might better consider instead of 15 minutes to be 30 minutes but at least to be sure you don’t hurry up everything like in a race, the clothes were the same in every video and even the same environment with anything changed that it gave the impression this was made in a single shot just for finishing with it in a hurry, not for trying to incorporate the viewer and listener into a relaxation or comfort state and most of the time the instructor itself doesn’t quite follows her own instructions (especially breathing or staying with her mouth closed when doing the exercises like in the comments provided). I would suggest to follow more on youtube the free 30 day classes which take an hour that really makes a difference than this course (especially for beginners and for chubby girls, having also a lot more alternatives for positions to don’t hurt and not a lot of that downward facing dog position like in this course).

Good and useful instructions
Gina Gonzalez-Nunez –
Awesome short work outs! Stretches and movements that target stressful muscles to relaxed them and put you into a serene mood. Also the soothing voice helps. When I wanted a slower pace, I changed to speed of the voice. These exercises give you energy to go about your day or relax you to better rest the night.
