How To De-Stress Yourself | Inner Peace

Hey guys,

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?

  9. It is really important to de-stress and have some time alone to clear our thoughts and minds! I tried yoga in the past but didn't stick to it, but I liked it a lot! x

  13. I'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
