Session 1 - understanding stress
Stress is one of the biggest courses of ill health.  It is the cause of many conditions including insomnia, headaches, back pain and sore tight joints, muscles, fatigue and tiredness. When we are stressed, we release hormones that keep the body in a 'fight-or-flight' mode. If this state is sustained for long periods of time, our whole immune system can be compromised. 

Relax and Unwind 1 includes:

• The annamaya kosha - the physical body.
• Activations - aimed at releasing tenions in the neck and shoulders, arm swings and forward bend. 
• Energy Block Release 1. 
• Majariasana - the Cat, to unlock tension from the spine.
• The Maltese Cross, to ease tension and tiredness out of the lower back.
• Deep relaxation.
