Prescription for stress relief...



...even if it's only a temporary escape.

Do yoga using a flow you're well familiar with so you don't have to think too much.

Put on some Asian spa background music - the cheesier, the better.

Dim the lights and light a few candles.

Face something that will make drishti effortless. For me it was the yin-yang window.

For each move take an extra breath while moving as slowly as possible.

Concentrate on the complete stillness that naturally arises in the pause between inhalation and exhalation.

DO NOT attempt strengthening challenges or demanding backbends; focus rather on the releasing effects of forward folds and twists.

Use as many props as you like.

Think as little as possible.

Afterwards, lie yourself down alone in the sauna with water and clementines.
