Unless you’re a professional athlete, chances are you’re not getting a balanced workout during your workday. Whether you’re slaving away at a desk, making rounds, or waiting tables, you’re likely straining some muscles while ignoring others, leaving your body feeling stiff, sore, and physically exhausted. Deadlines and pressure from bosses don’t help matters, either.

“When you get stressed, you often hold your breath, which leads to holding your muscles. It feels like you’re wearing a straitjacket,” explains Elaine Petrone, a stress- and pain-management expert and creator of the “Stop the Back Pain” DVD.

You can stretch out the stress, though, with a little time and effort. “By pairing mindful stretches with deep breathing, you’ll make lasting, positive changes to the way your body works, looks, and feels,” says Petrone, who helped us develop this rejuvenating routine. Done for 15 to 20 minutes, three times a week, it paves the way to a calmer, less achy, and more energized you.

Use our unique “Zen Clock” which functions as a Yoga Timer.  It features a long-resonating acoustic chime that brings your meditation or yoga session to a gradual close, preserving the environment of stillness while also acting as an effective time signal. Our Yoga Timer & Clock can be programmed to chime at the end of the meditation or yoga session or periodically throughout the session as a kind of sonic yantra. The beauty and functionality of the Zen Clock/Timer makes it a meditation tool that can actually help you “make time” for meditation in your life. Bring yourself back to balance.
