Yoga for Stress Relief

If you’re feeling stressed or anxious, this yoga class is just what you need. In this gentle session, Hannah guides you through soothing breathwork and slow, mindful movements to help you release tension and feel more grounded.

You’ll start in a comfortable position of your choice—whether seated, lying down, or in child’s pose—before diving into a calming breathing technique called the 4-6 breath. By lengthening your exhale, you’ll help your body shift into a relaxed, parasympathetic state, perfect for calming the mind and reducing stress.

Once you’ve settled into your breath, Hannah takes you through a series of mindful movements designed to release tension in your spine and back, while also encouraging you to focus on the sensations within your body. From gentle spinal twists to soothing side stretches and deep forward folds, each pose is intended to help you tune into your body’s needs and let go of anxious thoughts.

This class is more than just physical; it’s an opportunity to connect with yourself on a deeper level. As Hannah says, “Show yourself the love and kindness you would give a friend.” By setting a positive intention and being mindful of your breath and body, you’ll leave the mat feeling more peaceful and balanced.
