When stress builds up, it doesn’t just live in your head, it settles into your body too. One of the first places we tend to hold it? The shoulders and neck. You might notice tightness, tension headaches or that constant feeling of being “hunched up”.


In today’s reel, I’m sharing a few simple shoulder circles to help release that built-up tension. Try it with me. It’s amazing how just 30 seconds of movement can create a wave of calm through your upper body.


As it’s Stress Awareness Week, take a moment today to notice where you might be holding stress, shoulders, jaw, hips, and use gentle movement to let it go. Your body will thank you for it. 💆‍♀️

The Diaphragm is a Stress Regulator. Your diaphragm isn’t just for breathing, it’s one of your body’s built-in stress regulators. When you breathe deeply, your diaphragm gently massages the vagus nerve, which helps calm your nervous system and lowers the stress response.


In today’s reel, I’m showing you a simple belly breath, also known as diaphragmatic breathing. Try it with me. You’ll feel your body soften almost instantly. It’s one of the easiest ways to bring yourself back to calm when life feels a little full. 🌿


As it's Stress Awareness Week, I’ll be sharing more simple movement and breathing tools over the next few days to help you manage stress and move with more ease.

This week is Stress Awareness Week, and each day we’ll be discovering simple facts and exercises that can help reduce stress, ease tension and bring your body (and mind) back into balance. Let’s move our way to calm together. 💫
