Being ‘strong’ has many connotations, but one thing is true; if you’re looking to improve your stamina, posture and reduce your risk of injuries, having strong, toned muscles is key. This powerful resistance flow does all of that and it will leave you feeling deeply relaxed. You will experience a sequence of poses that first firm and tighten the muscles and then relaxes them. By releasing that tension the body also relieves pent-up stress and anxiety, leaving you feeling relaxed and calm.

This is a great flow to start your day, or why not try making it the first thing you do after work, to mark the end of the working day? The key time to exercise for aiding in a good night’s sleep is 4 to 6 hours before bed, so if practiced then, these feel-good moves won’t just strengthen your muscles, they’ll also prepare your body and mind for a stress-free night’s sleep.
