Left nostril breathing is a calming breath practice used in yoga to support relaxation and ease anxiety. In yogic tradition, breathing through the left nostril is linked to cooling, calming energy and the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to reduce stress and quiet a busy mind. Guided by Jen Stuart, this practice is especially useful in the evening, before sleep, or during moments of overwhelm when you need to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Left nostril breathing complements yoga, somatic bodywork, and remedial massage, supporting your holistic wellbeing with a simple tool you can use anywhere.

Alternate nostril breathing, known in yoga as Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, is a simple yet powerful practice that helps balance the flow of prana—the vital energy carried by the breath. This breathwork calms the nervous system, supports emotional regulation, and promotes mental clarity, making it a useful tool when feeling overwhelmed or anxious. Often used in yoga therapy sessions, alternate nostril breathing is accessible to anyone and complements holistic practices such as yoga, somatic bodywork, and remedial massage, helping you reconnect with yourself and your inner steadiness.

Tension headaches are a common issue, often caused by stress, poor posture, or muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders. Fortunately, you can alleviate the discomfort with simple massage techniques that you can do at home. Here’s how to relieve tension headaches and find quick, natural relief. A tension headache is a common type of headache characterised by a dull, aching pain around the head, often described as a tight band or pressure around the forehead or at the back of the head and neck. It is typically caused by muscle tension in the scalp, neck, and shoulders, often triggered by stress, poor posture, or fatigue. Unlike migraines, tension headaches usually do not involve symptoms like nausea or sensitivity to light and sound. They can last from 30 minutes to several hours and, while generally less severe, can be persistent and recurring.
