Are You Stressed Out? Reduce Cortisol Naturally With This Yoga Practice

You did it, you are here. You have listened to that inner wisdom that tugs at us when the heart, body and mind need tending to. Cortisol is the body’s primary stress hormone, and while it is useful in some ways (such as helping you to wake up in the morning), it can also stay elevated when stress becomes too much on the body. When cortisol is high, you might find yourself experiencing anxiety, racing thoughts, fatigue, burnout, or even trouble sleeping. Yoga reminds us that there are tools to cultivate balance in these moments that feel off kilter. This practice is an opportunity to pause for a moment and regulate high cortisol through breath, gentle movement, and reconnecting with a sense of safety in the body.
