20 minutes of soft yoga for stress

You need a block for a few poses towards the end of these soft yoga classes, although if you don’t have it at home, just a few pillows or sofa cushions.

Sitting side body forward bend

Start with crossed legs with your right shin in front of your left and then turn to your right knee and thigh. Walk with your fingertips and find a large side body here. The further you walk with your fingers, the more your left hip wants to lift off the floor, so think about pushing it left and reaching your left arm, so that you extend yourself in your hip and side body. Try to relax your neck.

Part of the relaxation is also leather slower, deeper breaths, in and out by getting the nose. Every time you exhale, try your muscles and loose a little more in the piece.

Seated side body Stretch

Start walking in with your hands while you cover your body at an angle. Bring your left hand to your right knee and reach your right arm above your head, so that your biceps is lying next to your ear while you find a side body trace. You do not lean forward or backwards. Relax your neck and jaw and let the muscles go around your eyes and your cheeks.

Sitting turn

Now look for a turn with your right hand behind you and turn your chest more to the right while you sit for a long time.

Then release the twist and face forward, change the intersection of your legs so that your left tibia and only stand in front and look at your left knee and left thigh. Repeat the same pieces on your other side, starting by running your fingers away. Then take your right hand to your left knee and reach your left arm next to your head. And finally, walk back in your hands, stay in this corner, take your left fingertips behind you and turn left while you are a little bigger. Then let go of your twist.

Personnel

Stretch your legs right in front of you, plant your hands next to your hips and think of pushing it on your heels, pushing in the back of your knees and pushing in your palms to help you stand in the staff for a long time. Pull the navel to the spine.

Sitting forward

Let your chin go to your chest and spine while you reach your chest to your toes and walk forward with your hands. You can bend a bit through your knees when you come in a passively seated turn. So you don’t push, you don’t pull, you don’t worry about having a flat back. You will find every form that now feels best for you and makes gravity worthwhile.

Watch every time you exhale whether you can relax a little more.

Puppy pose

Walk inside with your hands and make yourself out very slowly while you sit down again. Come on hands and knees and keep your hips stacked directly over the top of your knees and walk with your hands in front of you, bring your forehead to the mat and bend your elbows so that your forearms relax on the mat in Puppy Pose. Think of drawing your lower abdomen and concentrate this form of the pose in your shoulders, upper back and chest. Breathe deep in here.

Lage Lunge

Walk inside with your hands and lift your head and chest from the mat. Get your right foot forward between your palms in a low outages. Here my front knee is above my ankle, I push my hips forward and down, and I pull my shoulders off my ears while I let the gravity pull the hips down a bit.

Half -split

As you press in your front heel, you start to straighten your right leg, switch your hips back and take a small hamstring stretch while bending your foot in half splits.

Come back on hands and knees and let’s do those two poses on the other side.

Sphinx

Lower your stomach completely and slide your forearms in front of you and come in Sphinx. So your elbows are under it or something for your shoulders and your palms press in the mat. Think of lifting your chest here while you push in the tops of the feet and hip bones. You don’t want to squeeze your lower back.

Leclined Butterfly

Which props you use, just make sure you have them remotely. Turn over to your back and come in a bent butterfly bent back. So start with the soles to touch and your knees fall apart. I like to do this with my arms that reach above the head to broaden the chest and release a little more through the shoulders. You may want to bend your elbows and find a cactus shape with your arms with your elbows at the same level as your shoulders and the back of your hands on the mat. Or you can keep your arms on your sides or place your hands on your stomach. Get 5 breaths here. You really delay things.

Leclined twist

You will lift your knees up again and pull it to your chest. Move your hips a few centimeters to the right and lower both knees and thighs to the left. Think of really sinking your right shoulder blade in the mat. So you try to stack your right hip over your left. You can play a bit with how close you have your knees to your chest.

Lift your knees back through the middle and turn to the other side.

Supported bridge

Bring your legs back to the center and put your feet on the mat. Grab your block or your pillows or what you have at home. If you use a block, keep it at the lowest level and slide it under the cummer while you enter a supported bridge. You can keep your feet down or, if it feels good, you can straighten your legs as you would in Savasana for a hip flexor stretch. If this feels like squeezing and tension in your lower back, keep your knees bent and your feet flat on the mat.

Waterfall

From a supported bridge, put your legs straight to heaven while you get into waterfall, which is like legs the wall in the middle of the room. Maybe you should shift your props a little and adjust it again, but this can be a nice pose to do at the end of the day, especially if you are on your feet, during your yoga for stress practice.

Maybe you want to bend and point your feet or roll your ankles. Don’t worry about whether your knees are straight or not.

Savasana

You stuck a road to Savasana, your last resting position, by bending your knees, bringing your feet flat on the mat, moving your block or your plug to the side and setting your hips on the mat. You can stay here or make this more recovering by dropping your knees together. Or you can straighten the legs for this more traditional variation of Savasana with palms to heaven and eyes close.

Take all the desired space and let yourself be settled here. This is your chance to decompcrimage and let go. So just concentrate on your breathing and stay here for a few minutes of silent contemplation and relaxation of the entire body.

When you’re done, you start waking up again, nice and slow, without hurrying. You can stretch your arms above the head, reach fingertips to your toes, and we roll to one side and finally come up and sit down and move slowly here. Note how you feel after your soft yoga for stress routine in contrast to when you first got on your mat. And with this in mind, we will be here after you pause class. I hope you feel really good in your body and are able to have a nice, long rest.
