We all get a little worn down now and then, and this is when those not-so-great habits can begin to form. I’ve found that it can be extremely helpful to have some self-sooth practices in your back pocket for times like these.

Today, I want to show you 3 tried and true ways to rejuvenate your body and spirit using some ancient wisdom that is backed by science.

#1 An Easy And Ultra Feel-good Yoga Pose

I know that there are a lot of different ideas about what practicing yoga entails. But no, you don’t have to be incredibly flexible and you don’t have to balance on your head ?

Doing yoga is a way of moving the body and regulating your breathing to calm the mind and bring yourself back into balance. A lot of people get intimidated when they think about yoga because they imagine the intense poses that we see in mainstream depictions of Vinyasa (the most common type of yoga practiced in studios).

But there is another type of yoga that is gentle and relaxing; it’s called Yin Yoga. 

Yin yoga requires you to hold a simple position for at least 5 minutes. This gives you a deep stretch that heals your connective tissues. Yin Yoga also requires a stillness that creates the perfect space for meditation. Meditation has been proven time and time again to balance your fight or flight response, release muscle tension, and fight depression.
