Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I move I’m going through the motions on autopilot, mind a thousand miles away
- I want a short set routine I can actually learn and repeat every day, not a grab-bag of poses
- I’m wound so tight my shoulders are up around my ears and the tension is just locked in my body
- My breathing has gone all shallow and stuck up in my chest, and my head won’t stop circling
- Sitting still to meditate just lets my mind spin, but I also can’t do anything jarring
