Releasing the Stress of Negative Events
In today's practice, we explore how incorporating a pose, intentional relaxation, and some tiny movement can help us create a new emotional experience around a negative event.
We will particularly focus on relaxing the psoas muscles, which tense when an upsetting event occurs.
