Beginner Yoga Techniques to Relax – One to Five Minute Exercise:

Pick your favorite spot to relax. You can sit, or lie down, whichever is the most comfortable for you.

Place your hands lightly on your stomach. Concentrate on breathing using the diaphragm, not the chest, and feel the stomach rise as the lungs fill from the bottom.

Inhale for a count of 4
Exhale for a count of 4

Inhale for a count of 5
Exhale for a count of 5

Inhale for a count of 6
Exhale for a count of 6

It’s ok to slowly increase your inhales and exhales until you reach the count of 8.

Slowly your body is getting used to holding and letting go.

Once you have repeated this ten times.

Try it while lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the floor, hip distance apart. Allow your knees to rest together.

Close your eyes and repeat the exercise.

Try to clear your mind as much as possible.

Slowly ramp up from a count of 4 to 8 again.

Tell me, were you able to relax?
