This restorative routine is meant to release tension in the whole body, targeting all the muscles and the fascia. It's a relaxing session that requires basically no effort.
It's taken from my "Mobility For Cycling" program, but it can be used by anyone, anytime you want.
Roll your mat and release some stress while strengthening the most important part of your body, your core!
With this practice, we'll activate our sympathetic nervous system (our fight/flight/freeze instinct) and give it a free ride so that it can go to sleep happy and not bother us with the relaxation practices.
Exercise helps with anxiety by releasing endorphins—natural mood lifters—and reducing levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. Physical activity also improves sleep quality, boosts energy, and promotes better self-esteem, all of which contribute to reduced anxiety.
Welcome to "Respire - Breathwork for Anxiety" - Calm Your Mind, One Breath at a Time
In this course, we explore the profound connection between breath, mind, and body. When we feel anxious or stressed, our breathing often becomes shallow and rapid, triggering the body’s “fight or flight” response. This natural reaction, while helpful in emergencies, can intensify feelings of stress if left unchecked. Through controlled and conscious breathing, we can calm this response, signaling to the body and mind that it’s safe to relax.
Scientific research has demonstrated the powerful benefits of breathwork. Simple breathing exercises can lower anxiety, improve focus, and boost emotional well-being. By practicing these techniques, you’ll develop a reliable, science-backed tool to help you navigate the challenges of daily life with greater calmness and resilience.
