It's Time to Start Stripping!

Is it time for you to start stripping?

'Oh la la' now take your mind out of the gutter and those back street clubs, that a story for another time...I'm talking about stripping away all the complicated wellness routines that leave you more stressed than relaxed.

Does this sound like you?

You start your day with the best intentions, maybe a green smoothie, a workout, or some meditation. But before you know it, life takes over. The emails, the meetings, the errands, all pulling you in a million directions. By the time evening rolls around, even the idea of “self-care” feels blooming exhausting. If this resonates, you’re not alone. So many of us are stuck in a cycle of overdoing wellness, packing our schedules with routines and practices that end up adding more stress rather than relieving it.

But what if it didn’t have to be this way?

That’s the idea behind Touch Yoga. It’s a practice that strips wellness down to its most essential elements, mindful movement, intentional touch, and being present with the wonderful breath. No elaborate routines. No expensive equipment. Just you, your hands, and your ability to connect with your body.

So, how does it work?

Imagine this…. You’re sitting quietly, feeling the stress and tension in your shoulders after a long day. You place your hands gently in a certain place, applying light pressure as you move the body gently, breathing deeply. Almost instantly, your muscles soften, your breath slows, and you feel your mind clear. Feels good just reading it, feels even better doing it…

That’s the power of Touch Yoga.

Science tells us why this works. Gentle touch releases oxytocin, the “the feel-good hormone” which reduces stress and brings a sense of calm. Pair that with slow, mindful breathing, and gentle movement and this activates your body’s parasympathetic nervous system, your “rest and restore” state. It’s like hitting a reset button for your nervous system, and all it takes is just a few minutes.

Also, research has shown that Touch Yoga can trigger your body to produce a natural substance called "Interleukin-10", which helps control inflammation. Inflammation is linked to many chronic health issues, so by simply practicing gentle movements or touching certain areas of your body, you can actually help your body reduce inflammation. 

What makes Touch Yoga so transformative?

Its simplicity. Wellness doesn’t need to be complicated. Touch Yoga reminds us that the answers aren’t in the next trend or product, they are already within us. Whether it’s a hand over your heart, a gentle sweep along your arms, or a deep sighing, releasing breath, these small gestures can have the most profound impact.

So, if you’re tired of chasing perfection in wellness, maybe it’s time to try something beautifully simple. Letting go of all the complexity to just pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself through the simplicity of Touch Yoga.

Sometimes, the most profound changes come from the simplest practices, because sometimes, less really is more.
