Release

You carry the day into every room you walk into. The tight jaw, the raised shoulders, the shallow breath come with you whether you invited them or not.

Release is step two. Once you've landed in your body, you let the stress of the world go. What you carried in has no use here. The goal isn't to force yourself to relax. It's to find where you're gripping and let a little of it go.

We'll scan for your usual holding spots — jaw, shoulders, belly, hands — and use slow movement and long exhales to soften them. You'll leave with a simple practice: find the grip, let ten percent of it go, and breathe out longer than you breathe in.

No experience is required. If you've ever noticed your shoulders up by your ears at the end of the day, this one is for you.
