Gentle Mindful Cooldown
Our Gentle Mindful Cooldown will help you unwind and relax after a workout or a busy day. Join us in this calming and rejuvenating session that will relax your muscles and mind. This cooldown can be done standing or in a chair and is suitable for all fitness levels.
When we exercise, our heart rate increases, our muscles contract, and our blood vessels dilate. After exercising, our body needs to return to its natural state. Cooling down gradually lowers our heart rate, relaxes our breathing, and releases muscle soreness and stiffness.
The parasympathetic nervous system controls the body’s ability to relax. It's sometimes called the "rest and digest" state because it helps maintain daily functions like your resting heart rate, your metabolism, and your breathing. During mindful cooling down, we activate the parasympathetic nervous system through slow, deep breathing, gentle movements. This helps the body recover, reduces stress, and improves mood and mental clarity.
