The Science of Stress (and Why Movement Helps)

Ever noticed how your shoulders creep up towards your ears when you’re stressed? That’s your body’s stress response kicking in, muscles tense, breathing shortens, posture shifts. Movement (especially mindful movement like Pilates) literally sends “I’m safe” signals back to the brain. It’s not just relaxing, it’s science. 💡

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. 💫
