A Quick Yoga Routine To Relieve Stress In No Time

We all have stress in our lives, and this year, that holds more true than ever before. Stress is unavoidable, and come from all sides. Job-related stress is the most common source of stress for most people, but almost anything, from minor inconveniences to major upheavals, can put pressure on our peace of mind.

It’s important to have strategies for stress relief. Too much stress can affect your mood and even your health. It’s also an underlying cause of weight gain, particularly around the midsection. There are a number of quick and easy ways to stop stress in its tracks: exercise, mindfulness, and meditation, just to name a few. Yoga combines all three of these, and striking a few poses throughout your day can provide a powerful sense of inner calm. Even if you’ve never done yoga before, here are a few easy poses to help relieve unhealthy stress.

The Ultimate Quick Yoga Routine For Stress Relief

This is a quick and easy yoga routine that can be done in about 10 minutes. It’s a great way to take a break while you’re working from home, or to start or end your day once you get home from the office.

Get Ready

Find a quiet space and place your yoga mat on the floor—if you don’t have a yoga mat, a towel or folded blanket will do just fine. Begin in a comfortable seated position, legs crossed. Relax your feet and allow your pelvis to be in a neutral position. Take several deep breaths and allow your thoughts to come and go as they please for a few minutes before you start with the first stretch.

Neck & Shoulder Rolls

If you work from home and your setup is less than ideal, or if you work at a desk at an office job, then you’ve probably experienced neck and shoulder pain. That tension can build up throughout the day and inhibit your sleep. Allow your head to fall toward your chest and slowly move your head around in a full circle to the right three times and then to the left three times, without forcing the stretch. Then, roll your shoulders in forward circular motions four times and then backward four times. When you are finished, inhale, bringing your hands together in prayer position, and then exhale.

Cat-Cow Pose

For this spine stretch, begin in tabletop position, with your hands and knees on the floor. Place your palms directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Center your head in a neutral position and soften your gaze downward. To go into Cow pose, inhale as you drop your belly toward the mat. Lift your chin and chest and look up toward the ceiling. Pull your shoulders down, away from your ears. This is followed by Cat pose: exhale and pull your stomach toward your spine and round your back toward the ceiling. Gently release your head and allow it to hang toward the floor. Repeat five times.

Downward Facing Dog

This position is an invigorating full-body stretch. Tuck your toes under your feet, press your palms into the floor and press your hips up toward the ceiling, keeping your back straight. Press your heels into the mat to feel your calves and hamstrings stretch. Allow your head to drop so that your neck is long. Stay here for a few deep breaths.

Standing Forward Bend

From Downward Facing Dog, slowly crawl your hands to your feet, and allow your body to hang, keeping your legs straightened. It’s okay if they aren’t completely straight. Place your hands on your knees and straighten your back to ninety degrees on an inhale, then release.

Mountain Pose & Upward Salute

Bend your knees slightly, and roll your body up to standing, pulling your abdomen in as you roll upward. Once standing, raise your arms in an Upward Salute, extending them in a full stretch. There is an option here to release back into a Standard Forward Bend by falling forward on an exhale. Repeat the sequence as often as you need to.

Child’s Pose

Child’s pose is an excellent way to end a yoga practice. Softly come to your knees in a kneeling position. Extend your hands forward in front of you. Allow your torso to relax down and back onto your thighs. If it’s comfortable, let your forehead rest on the floor and remain there for a few long, deep breaths.

Aesthetic Treatments For Weight Gain Caused By Stress

For a variety of reasons, aesthetic treatments offer a stress-free way to stay in shape during stressful times. For starters, body treatments have proven results, using advanced medical technology to melt away fat, reduce cellulite, tighten skin, get rid of unwanted hair, and more. Additionally, compared to invasive surgeries, Venus Treatments arenon-surgical, take around 15-30 minutes to perform, and have little to no downtime. Moreover, when you focus on your aesthetic goals, you’re putting yourself first. All too often, in times of stress, things like self-care get put to the side, which only results in more stress and unhappiness.
