So we all go through times when we feel stressed and down, sometimes we don't even know why! You know when you can't sleep, get moody, irritated...
Usually when i'm stressed, I go gym consistently and try keep busy. But recently, I've been intrigued by Yoga.
There are loads of benefits to it:
- Increases flexibility
- Reduces stress
- Increases muscle strength/toning
- Weight reduction
I did an online day 1 beginner on YouTube in my room & it is way harder than you think.. but I felt so much relief after! Your body just feels less tense. They do a class at my gym (Pure Gym) for £4 for an hour per week. So I tried it last night and I loved it!
It's my new way to de-stress. Okay I've only done 2 classes so I don't know if i'll carry on for ages but I want to see how it goes. Some people think it isn't exercising but it definitely is. I didn't realise how much you have to concentrate on your balance and the use of your muscles - my abs are aching today!
But don't let it put you off. You feel so relaxed and try forget about all your problems. It's also a bit of "me time" - I love me time!
What do you do to de-stress? Have you ever tried Yoga?

DeleteI've been doing yoga on and off since I was 16. A physio suggested it to my sister to help manage her scoliosis, so Mum bought a DVD and we all got into it. Yoga became an integral part of my music training - I had to keep my body in shape and my posture good to be able to play to my full potential. Xx
