10 Minute Yoga Routine for Stress Relief The ten minute yoga routine below is perfect if you're short on time, but still craving a little relaxation. The poses are designed to help reduce stress and tension, while enhancing your flexibility. Please note that in this sequence there are a few significant postures (cobra, horse, downward dog or plank) that need to be held very carefully as they help alleviate stress in the body. This is not a difficult routine, but it can be challenging at first. It is advised to practice this sequence with a qualified yoga teacher who can assist you in achieving the proper alignment. - Cobra (4 times) Prone on your mat with legs wide apart. Lean forward and lower your body into a lying down position, letting your arms drift out to the sides and wrists bend back towards your shoulders so that you are looking at the floor. Keep your neck straight in order to maintain the posture and keep any tension out of the upper back. - Half Butterfly (1 time) Kneel on the floor, palms down next to each other and parallel to each other. Draw your knees together and heels apart, creating a V-shape with the legs. Then take one arm and fold it across your chest, so that the elbow reaches the opposite shoulder. - Cat Cow (1 time) Starting position is lying on your stomach, arms by your side and palms facing up. Inhale deeply as you press yourself up into a cat pose where you shoulders are rolled back and down, arms are straight, stomach is lifted and low in between the thighs. As you inhale feel like you are drawing energy from the earth through your palms into the body through your belly button. You can even arch slightly backwards as you inhale to make sure that energy gets pulled all of way up to the top of your head. Then on the exhale, round your back, look at the floor and lengthen your spine. - Half Downward Dog (5 times) Start by standing with your feet a little wider than hip distance apart, then shift your weight forward so that you are leaning over towards the floor. This can be a balancing posture so don't worry if you feel unsteady at first. From there, slowly drop one hand down to the mat, then both hands. Then slowly lift yourself up into a downward facing dog position by straightening out your knees until they are locked out and arms are straight, but not locked. This is an advanced pose so take it easy if you need to at first. From downward dog, take a breath in and as you exhale, come into a low plank position where your body is in a straight line from your ankles to your shoulders. - Low Plank (1 time) From the low plank position, which will be familiar to anyone who has practiced yoga before, breathe in and then exhale as you lower yourself down onto the mat until you are back in the cobra pose. - 3 poses of Cobra (2 times) Repeat this sequence 4-5 times. Then finish with some child's pose for about 1 minute. The child's pose is important because it allows you to relax the back which can get tight from all of the balancing postures earlier. The child's pose position can also help you to focus on your breathing, which is another way to help flush out tension and stress.

Conclusion:
The effects of stress on the mind and body are frightening. I have been left wondering in horror after doing research on some of the side effects of stress on the body and they are not pretty. I am left feeling afraid for my life. The realization that if I don't do something to control anxiety and stress, it will control me.
This blog post has been a long time coming for me to write, but after seeing what stress does to my body, I felt like I needed to share this information with all of you because there is no sense in suffering alone.
