In today’s busy world, the art of relaxation is becoming more and more elusive. Many
people’s lives are filled with the demands of everyday life that can create one giant
stress ball within them. Time to stop! Letting go of stress and learning how to relax is
one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself.
Alexis Gulliver of Alexis Alive is a certified yoga instructor and developer of the ALIVE
method — a 5-step program geared to help you de-stress and enhance your total well-
being. She takes a holistic approach to her craft and uses simple practices for both the mind

Prolonged periods of stress can take a toll of your physical and mental health.
Fortunately, there are various relaxation techniques designed to counter that — and can
help reduce physical pain, increase energy levels and encourage a more positive sense
of self.
3 popular relaxation methods:
-Breathing. Deep breathing exercises are designed to help the body take in more
oxygen, which in turn helps relieve anxiety, slow heart rate and stabilize blood pressure.
-Meditation. There are different types of meditation but most involve adopting
postures, breathing exercises and even chanting — all of which help enhance a sense of
peace.
-Yoga. An ancient Hindu spiritual discipline that combines breath control and bodily
postures to attain a heightened state of relaxation.
After years dedicated to studying, practicing and teaching the principles of yoga, Alexis
at Alexis Alive feels everyone deserves the opportunity to be their best and is confident
that with access to the right tools, the support of a guide, and a renewed connection
with the self, everyone can feel empowered to come ALIVE in each moment. For more
