Part 3: Relaxing the mind, body and soul

What does it feel like to relax? Is there time to relax?
We might not feel like we have time to rest, or even remember how to relax. We might find ourselves not wanting to let a guard down to relax, in case we need to be ready to go with a moment's notice. Difficult situations with high stress can lead to the mind and body remaining over-activated, without moments of needed rest.
This yoga practice is soothing, bringing stillness to the body with gentle movement, the meditation (audio experience) will invite you to have compassion for your own body as you rest, and the mudra will create a connection to a quiet moment.
