Stress relief and flexibility programs are natural compliments in yoga. When
you release mental pressure, you simultaneously relieve tightness in your
muscles and joints. Similarly, when you focus on reducing stiffness in the body,
you automatically release tension held in the mind. These two rejuvenating yoga
programs, filmed in a tranquil garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, can help
undo the physical and mental effects of tension. The Stress Relief sequence uses
the breath, longer holds, and forward bends to encourage the body s relaxation
response. This calming sequence will dissolve anxiety, improve quality of sleep,
reveal clarity of thought, and activate the antiaging benefits that restorative
yoga provides. The Flexibility sequence uses simple but effective flowing
vinyasas to enhance agility, alleviate pain, cultivate a greater free range of
movement, and reduce risk of future injury.
