Relaxation ideas and exercises
You know how busy life can get as a carer, and stressful.
It can be hard, but it’s important to try and carve out just a little time for you, to relax and unwind, even for just a few moments.
Relaxation exercises
On this page you’ll find a selection of relaxation and mindfulness exercises, that you can follow at home. Just find a quiet space, and listen.
There are six different ones, all listed below.
You can find more exercises in our Relaxation booklet – illustrated by calm cats!
10 Minute ideas
You may also be looking for other ways to help yourself relax, and re-set.
On the link below, you’ll find our ’10 Minute Wellbeing Ideas’ ideas, just for you as a busy carer. Hopefully you’ll find a couple that you can do, and that work for you.
Relaxation events
Finally, we run regular relaxation sessions for our carers, generally online, but also face-to-face. These include Mindfulness and Yoga. Visit our events page to see what’s coming up.
Yoga is my time to gather myself together ready for another week. I cannot sing the praises of teacher Saara too much. She clearly understands the needs of carers when it comes to yoga.
