Stress and Anxiety

The Sponge Yoga Pose

This exercise relieves anxiety

and stress, and PMS- or menopause-related tension. It relieves menstrual

cramps and lower back pain, and reduces eye tension and facial swelling.

  • Lie on your back with a rolled towel

    under your knees. Place your arms at your sides, with palms facing

    up.

  • Close your eyes and relax your entire

    body.

  • Inhale slowly, breathing from the diaphragm.

  • As you inhale, visualize your body as

    porous and open like a sponge, drawing in energy from the air

    and revitalizing every cell in your body.

  • Exhale slowly and deeply, allowing all

    tension to drain from your body.

  • Repeat 2-4 times.
