Your Nervous System Needs Rest, Not Just Sleep

As Stress Awareness Week wraps up, it’s a perfect reminder that managing stress is about listening to your body, whether that means slowing down, stretching gently, or simply taking a quiet pause. Your nervous system needs downtime during the day, not just at bedtime.

Even a few minutes of mindful activity or stillness can help you feel calmer and more centred. You might try a gentle child's pose stretch, a slow roll of the shoulders, a seated spine twist, or simply sitting quietly and noticing your breath. 🌿

Pilates is great for this because many movements are designed to be nourishing rather than challenging, helping you release tension while supporting balance and focus. Ending your week with a small mindful pause is a simple way to reset your mind and body before the weekend. 💫
