This week at Yoga in 30 we’ll be focusing on letting go of tension in the neck and shoulders, two areas of our bodies where I know I store tension, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
We talk about having the ‘world on our shoulders’ and our troubles being a ‘complete pain in the neck’. Bad posture habits and sitting in one fixed position for too long just add to our niggling tension spots.
Thankfully unravelling some of that stored up tension isn’t difficult and some of the yoga postures we’ll be doing this week, anyone can do quite easily at home or at their desk.
Of course getting up and moving around is going to do a lot to relieve the tension we create sitting in one fixed position for too long. This time of year is perfect for getting out and having a good scuff through the leaves.
You could practice some deep breathing while you are out there – in for the count of three; out for the count of four. Let that tension melt away, breathe out to the bottom of your lungs and breathe in clear fresh air. Which is exactly what I’m off to do now.
