Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Play Video

Progressive Muscle Relaxation is a simple yet powerful technique to release physical tension and calm the mind. By consciously tensing and then relaxing different muscle groups, this method helps manage stress, anxiety, and frustration. Through guided steps from hands to feet, it promotes deep relaxation, allowing the body and mind to reset and regain balance.
