Relaxation Techniques

One of the things we are all guilty of not taking enough time to do!

Vitally important, relaxation can be quick, effective and best of all simple!


1. Yoga

Our trusty favourite - Yoga is a fantastic way to clear the mind and energize the body in a non-stressful environment. Yoga classes are so accessible these days, whether it be at your local health centre, a private inner-city studio or in the comfort of your own home, the benefits of yoga can be felt almost immediately. 5-10minutes is really all you need for a quick 'time out', however for noticeable improvements session by session; dedicate 40-90 minutes if time permits.

2. Tai Chi

An ancient Chinese martial art used to help centre the mind and balance the flow of 'Chi' or Energy throughout the body. Tai Chi is a fantastic way to relax and ease the mind through movement; the best thing about it is that you can perform it anywhere - home, office, at the beach or in the park! Again 10mins is a great booster session but longer sessions will allow you to get the full benefits and develop your skill at the same time.

3. Deep Breathing

One of the most effective/ time efficient relaxation techniques that we use with our clients at the end of a hard training session is just plain and simple deep breathing.
  • 1. Lie in a relaxed position on the floor
  • 2. begin breathing in and out through the nostrils (not the mouth)
  • 3. gradually build to the deepest longest breath in and out
  • 4. Starting at 2 seconds inhale and 2 seconds exhale and building through 4, 6, 8 up to 10 seconds in and 10 seconds out.

Controlling the breath relaxes the body.

Tip: To ease the mind try fixing your mind on somewhere peaceful and relaxing like the ocean. Even simply counting with your breath can take all negative and worrying thoughts away.

Spend 5-10 minutes on deep breathing per day to notice significant energy boosts!
