Welcome to your cool down.
Close down your eyes.
Your spine is straight,
Tall and relaxed.
The crown of your head drawn up as if attached to a helium balloon.
Relax your eyes.
Relax your ears.
Relax your jaw.
Relax your shoulders down like butter melting on a hot summer's day.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Focus the breath at the tip of your nose.
Notice how the air is cool as it comes in and warm as it goes out.
Become aware of your heart rate slowing to a resting rate.
Notice the sensations in your body.
How you feel after exercising.
Notice if there's any tension or tightness in your forehead,
Your eyes,
Your cheeks,
Your jaw,
Your ears,
Anywhere on your head.
And if there is,
Softly and gently breathe in and out of the discomfort.
Offering it an opportunity to release further with each breath.
Now focus your breathing into the area that encompasses your neck,
Shoulders,
Arms and hands.
Notice if there's any tension or tightness here.
And if there is,
Softly and gently breathe in and out of the discomfort.
Offering it an opportunity to release further with each breath.
Now focus your breathing into your body core.
Notice if there's any tension or tightness in your chest,
Upper back,
Abdomen or lower back.
And if there is,
Softly and gently breathe in and out of the discomfort.
Offering it an opportunity to release further with each breath.
Now focus your breathing into your glutes,
Legs and feet.
Notice if there's any tension or tightness here.
And if there is,
Softly and gently breathe in and out of the discomfort.
Offering it an opportunity to release further with each breath.
Notice if any tightness or tension remains in your body.
And if there is,
Gently breathe into that space now.
Allowing any remaining discomfort to completely dissipate.
Thank yourself for taking the time to exercise and be good to you.
Give thanks to your body for its amazing abilities.
And when you're ready,
Slowly open your eyes.
Returning to the world around you.
Today looks beautiful.
Namaste.
