"Feeling overstimulated can take you out of your body and trap you in your head. Slowing your breath and combining that with movement can help you release that unwanted energy, ease tension, and return to a more balanced state."
"This grounding yoga practice melds breathwork and mindful transitions between poses to help you move through and past sensory overload. From this moment forward, you'll begin to let things go more easily."
"Begin on your back, with your knees bent and your feet flat on your mat. Rest your knees together with your feet mat-width apart and your palms facing upward in Constructive Rest."
"Shake your limbs - your hands, arms, feet, and legs. The faster you move, the more of that overstimulated energy you'll be free to release."
Feeling overstimulated can lead to mental disconnection and racing thoughts. Grounding yoga practices that combine breathwork with mindful transitions can help release unwanted energy and ease tension. Specific poses such as Constructive Rest, Windshield Wipers, Supported Waterfall, and Boat Pose are recommended to facilitate this process. Using props like blocks can enhance the practice, allowing for better support and deeper relaxation. Engaging in these movements helps individuals return to a balanced state and let go of overwhelming sensations more easily.
