The YoPO guide to bodywork for stress

When stress builds up, it doesn’t just live in your mind — it shows up in your body too: tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, a racing heart. The good news is that the mind body connection works both ways. A few minutes of movement, breath, and stillness can send your nervous system a clear signal that it’s safe to stand down. This guide brings together yoga-rooted shapes and simple functional movement — some for quick relief in the moment, others to build into a longer-term practice — so you can meet stress with your body as well as your mind.
