@kategardnerlife: Feeling anxious, overwhelmed or like your mind just won’t switch off? Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to think our way out of it and start reconnecting with our bodies. Here are 3 simple somatic yoga movements to try: ✨ Butterfly hug gentle alternating tapping your shoulders whilst connecting to the sound of your breath. ✨ Self hug a moment of comfort and self-compassion floods the body with oxytocin the love hormone. ✨ Neck & shoulder release soften, stretch and breathe this stimulates your vagus nerve & releases tension. Try saying the affirmations as you move. And remember, you don’t have to earn rest. Join me Wednesday evening for Yin & Restorative Yoga – a lovely chilled class to help you unwind, release tension and get ready for sleep 💤 🧘♀️ 20:00 Spain | 19:00 UK Online via Zoom.Welcome to join with camera off & on your pjs!
