Being custom to yoga, message and relaxation, I've done this type of exercise in the past. Having my first yoga class being a prenatal yoga class, exercises like this relaxation exercise is very effective. As I listened to the words and music, I was first annoyed by the voice coming in from a long day I wanted it to be quiet. It took all but a minute for me to feel more comfortable with the voice and listen to the words that he was saying and completing what he was suggesting me to do. Everything that he said I did and I felt the warmth and felt relaxed within moments. Because I tend to carry much of my tension in my upper back, neck and jaw I focused on these areas rather then the legs and arms. After this exercise was complete I felt refreshed and ready to complete my day. If this is something people can do just once in their day, its for your benefit. Just like many I love messages and you are able to tune out the rest of the world and just be present in what is happening to your muscles and body while being manipulated. I will leave you with this, one of the best messages I've ever had where every part of my body felt heavy and relaxed was when, the therapist was speaking to me in a soft tone of voice commanding my body to relax. Truly an amazing experience and one you feel like you don't want to leave. I hope others can enjoy these experiences at some point in their lives. Enjoy.
Refreshed mind and ready for the rest of my day, Jenni
