when was the last time you truly felt your body was relaxed?
if your shoulders feel like stone, your chest is tight, and your jaw is clenched like a vice — it’s not just “bad posture.”
it’s your body, day after day, holding on to the tension that you never expressed in words.
stress doesn’t just vanish — your body remembers it
psychologists and neuroscientists have long confirmed that
muscle tension reflects your emotions:
• anxiety? a tight belly.
• anger? a clenched jaw.
• hurt and sadness? a constricted chest and throat.
over time, this isn’t just uncomfortable — it disrupts your breathing, your sleep, your movement, and your ability to feel joy.
how to release the tension
critical alignment yoga is designed to relieve tension through:
• breathing slowly and deeply
• noticing where your body feels tight — and asking yourself: what am I trying to avoid feeling right now?
• moving gently and consciously
