Somatic Stretching Workout // Relieve Tension & Stress

What is a somatic work out?
The following is Google's definition:
Somatic movement is moving with full-body awareness, focusing more on how you're feeling rather than meeting a specific fitness goal. It's a way to connect your emotions to how you're feeling physically. When done regularly, somatic movement can benefit both the body and mind in profound ways.

I've choreographed this floor workout to relieve anxiety, tension and stress. It's a 20 minute follow along workout that is suitable for seniors and beginners. Grab a pillow if you if are more comfortable with hip or neck support.
By following these exercises you are allowing your body to relax and connect with your mind. Breathe slowly and focus on your areas of pain, trouble or stress whether it's physical or mental.

This is why your channel is so popular Lauren this was just what we all need to relieve stress, anxiety and take a moment for ourselves see you tomorrow 💕🙋

My guardian angel must have been watching over me this morning finding your channel! I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and my body is seizing up. I loved this video - it has released so much stiffness in my hip and also rid me of some negative thoughts. Thank you so much.

The time and thoughtfulness you put into these sessions is a reassuring reflection of how we can choose to imitate the one who created and loves us despite the wearisome world we live in ATM. Thank you Lauren.

Personally I found the word somatic brought me in. I have been taking a course on somatic self resilience for dogs with trauma and reading a book on the body keeps the score. There was a difference in this time spent together. More than stretching, more on the lines of combining meditation, affirmations and body awareness. Thank you for this change and release.

I'm doing this Somatic routine daily it's amazing for my body and mind, more Somatics please Lauren ❤

[susanlauderdale]

This was great Lauren. I would love to see more somatic work outs. Starting my day with your workouts is always a great way to start the day. Thank you! ❤

[MariaGolesteanu]

I absolutely loved it! And definitely needed it. I would love to see more somatic streches developed by you. You are wonderful!!! Thank you for everything you bring to the world. ❤

[jeandiamond]

I want you to know how much I enjoyed this workout. It's safe, and effective. I'm 67 and experiencing pain in my shoulders, probably due to arthritis. Your workouts are tremendously helpful in relieving pain and stiffness. Thank you for helping seniors like me.

[jenifer]

My body was feeling inflamed today and I knew I couldn't do your cardio and strength training workouts today like I normally would do and I was perplexed as to what to do. And then voila I see this somatic video! Thank you Lauren and thank you universe ❤

[laurawillis]

I first found you while going thru IVF, now I am returning as I struggle with tension headaches and jaw pain. Thank you for sharing. I can already feel the tension leaving. You have a gift

This is another great video! Thank you for consistently helping us stay in shape, stay healthy and motivated daily at ALL ages and stages.

Lauren's Somatic Stretching is a gentle and accessible workout, perfect for anyone easing back into exercise after a break due to health issues. Despite my current limitations, like not being able to sit cross-legged yet, I found the movements easy to follow and manageable. It's encouraging to see progress and feel supported on my journey.

[RAPERxGRLX]

I have been in a rut so I was looking for gentle movement. The idea of releasing stress totally appealed to me. I felt so good after this workout, the next day (yesterday) I did your Walking Weight Loss and today I did your new Upper Body Strength, which I loved. You're gentle way makes me want to keep going. Thanks for providing such great content and sharing your wonderful talents with us!❤

Lauren is the best! I’m doing my best to follow her weekly workout plan since last year. All her exercises cover my needs. Thank you, Lauren. 😊

[romanian]
