EXERCISE FOR RELAXATION
Ease your body into these stretches: you should not be jumping or bouncing around, and the exercises are not supposed to be uncomfortable. Remember to breathe slowly and rhythmically too. The positions should be held for at least 10 seconds, but if you want to increase your flexibility, stretch the major muscle groups for a minimum of 30 seconds. As well as helping your body to relax by reducing muscle tension, these stretch exercises can be done to increase flexibility or to ease muscles, or cool down after exercising.
Abdominal breathing is the key here. This allows you to take air deep into your lungs. When you breathe deeply, blood is able to carry oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.
