Stretch Class Video 7 Stretches to Reduce Stress

Stress gives you physical symptoms and damages your body. You can’t immediately see the damage so we keep abusing stress day in and day out. Grab your mat, a pillow or block and spend 13 minutes with me bettering your body. Stretching can help with anger, anxiety, heavy emotions, aches, pains and lower your blood pressure.

Warning, if you do this you will feel happier and less stressed. Each week I send you tons of free Tidbits to help your health and weight loss journey. Grab all my free goodies here.

Stretch to Reduce Stress and Anger

By nature, I am a ‘go go” person and I have to force myself to slow down. It doesn’t come naturally to me. In fact, I used to barely be able to sit through stretching, meditation or yoga without my brain racing like a race car driver.
