Yoga in Valencia for beginners - shake your body!


Here we are, during our June edition retreat. Right before we were shaking it all of, the emotions, the negativity, the sorrows and worries. Re-energising our bodies, laughing because we were 4 women dancing in a pool for 7 minutes. We started moving our bodies freely and shaking off, loosing up and letting go of all that did not belong to us any longer. Bye to Bleh and Hi to YAY!




 

The Benefits

Shaking your body might seem like a simple, even silly activity, but it has profound benefits for your physical and mental well-being. Just as animals shake off tension after escaping a predator, humans can use shaking as a natural way to release stress and rejuvenate. Shaking your body helps to physically release tension that builds up in your muscles. This instinctual movement allows you to discharge pent-up energy. Regular shaking sessions can alleviate stiffness, reduce muscle tightness, and improve overall relaxation. Shaking leads to emotional clarity and an improved mood, as it mirrors the way animals shake off fear and return to a state of calm.


Here are three main benefits of shaking your bumbum:

1. Releases Physical Tension 

2. Reduces Stress and Anxiety

3. Enhances Emotional Well-being 


How it works?

In nature, many animals shake off stress as a survival mechanism after facing a threat. This instinctual behavior allows them to release the tension caused by the fight-or-flight response, helping them to quickly return to a relaxed state. By shaking we mimick this natural process, humans can benefit from the same tension-relieving effects. YAY! Incorporating shaking into your routine reconnects you with this primal, natural method of stress relief, aligning you with the rhythms of the natural world.


What are you waiting for?

Find a spot where you can move freely, highly suggested in nature. Put on your favorite song and start moving intuitively on the sounds of nature or the music. Fun fact, they also call it dancing, So let’s dance!
