How to use your body to soothe your mind.

Calm Practice

Jog and Fold

This practice can help you to complete the stress response if you’ve been holding back anger or feeling anxious.

Here’s how!

1. Jog in place for one (1) minute.
2. Stop. Inhale deeply then exhale into a forward fold. Hang like a rag doll, with a slight bend in your knees. Sway your upper body side to side. Stay in this position for 30 – 60 seconds.
3. Repeat as needed.
