More Information

When we are restless, we do not feel comfortable in our own skin. Our muscles are tense and our breathing is shallow. Often, restlessness is also accompanied by sleep problems and a tendency to seek solace in chemical sedatives or alcohol. Therefore, relaxation is extremely important for a healthy and active life. It is possible to naturally calm both body and mind, for instance through breathing exercises, meditation, and dance.
