Release the tension stress leaves in your body

Stress hides in the shoulders, jaw and neck. Move slowly and never into pain.

Steps

1. Lift your shoulders up to your ears, hold for a breath, then let them drop. Three times.
2. Gently tilt your head toward each shoulder. Hold for a few breaths on each side.
3. Unclench your jaw. Let your tongue rest and your teeth part slightly.
4. Clasp your hands and stretch your arms forward, rounding your upper back. Then stretch them overhead.
