Benefits of Being Kind to Yourself

15 minutes a day will transform your experience of life

  • Release Stress

    Let go of chronic stress and its impact on your body, mind, and emotions. Strengthen your relaxation response to future stressors.

  • Lessen Pain

    Release pain by returning to your body's natural alignment after a day of sitting. A body in alignment hurts less and takes less energy to function.

  • Calm Anxiety

    Calm your anxiety and train your body to relax into a restful state more easily. Sleep more deeply and recharge quickly with short practices.

  • Develop Resilience

    Practice releasing the burdens you carry for a short period each day. Increase your long-term mental and emotional resilience in everyday life.

This gentle self care program is the perfect way to unwind physically and mentally at the end of the day. Robin’s clear guidance and soothing presentation make it easy to follow, and incorporating just 15 minutes into my nightly routine was easy to do and well worth the time. The meditation section at the end is the icing on the cake. I am definitely a fan!
