My 10 Favorite Full Body Yoga Streteches to Decrease Stress

While we normalize feelings of excitement, relief and happiness when we travel, traveling can also come with feelings of vacation anxiety and stress. When you think about it- this is normal! On vacation, we can be off our routine, lack sleep and have new stressor we encounter- especially if we are traveling somewhere new. Self care is crucial in all aspects of life but especially during travel. One of the ways I decrease stress and anxiety, is through breathing and yoga- even if it is only for 10 minutes in a day. Because let’s face it- when we are on the road, sometimes 10 minutes is all we have!

Below are some of my favorite poses to decrease anxiety. They are simple, beginner poses that not only calm you- but may feel amazing after traveling on an airplane or after a long road trip because you get some good stretches in! You do not have to do them in any particular order or hold them for any particular amount of time. I do encourage you to match your breathing with your movements.
