Guided meditation and conscious relaxation can often help to relieve the physical tension and stress that may accompany a busy or hectic lifestyle.
When practiced regularly, these techniques can lead to greater physical health, mental clarity, emotional balance and a sense of peace.
Some of the methods explored in a Yoga for Slow Living session, class, or workshop include breath and body awareness, Vipassana (mindfulness meditation), Metta (the meditation of loving kindness), Yoga Nidra (dynamic sleep), guided visualizations and relaxation experiences.
