A guided relaxation works as a practice on it’s own but it’s also a lovely way to end your yoga asana (posture) practice. You can practice them at any time of the day. All you need is 5-10 minutes and a quiet spot where you can lie down and relax.

Guided relaxations can help you find stillness and encourage positive, creative thinking. These practices promote rest, calm, clarity and can help to relieve stress and anxiety too. You can completely let go and let your mind, body and emotions be at ease.

We’ve recorded a few guided relaxations for you below…
