                    Great Stress Relievers!!!

Hey girls! Are you feeling stressed out about school, homework, friends or family? Then it sounds like you need some tips on how to relieve that unwanted stress!!

Feel Balanced: Tree pose helps you achieve balance physically and mentally. Stand up straight and bend one leg, putting that foot at your knee. With hands above your head, focus on feeling balanced on both sides of your body.




Release Tension: You can benefit and relieve stress even by simply stretching. Try reaching to touch your toes, then hold onto them for 30 seconds - it'll help you realease all that muscle tension.

Increase Energy: Inverting your head in the wheel pose (or backbend) can increase energy and pick up your mood. Try it by lying down with hands at your shoulders, then push up from hands and feet.







Get Grounded: Lotus pose is perfect for meditating. Keeping your spine straight will help you feel more grounded and relaxed, so sit cross-legged with hands on your knees.






Feel Powerful: Mountain pose helps you feel how strong and powerful your body is, even standing still. Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart and arms above your head, then close your eyes.






Calm Yourself: Feel the energy coming from your head
in child's pose - it'll help calm your brain and relieve stress and fatigue. Kneel down on your mat and spread your hands in front of you, as far as they'll go. When you're ready, lower your forehead on the ground.
