6 Yoga Videos That Will Melt Your Stubborn Stress Away

I want to start out by saying that the Yoga With Adriene YouTube channel has flows for everything — period cramps, bad moods, text neck — it's great. This particular "Yoga Wash" video really did calm me down after a particularly stressful day and completely alleviated my stress headache in just 20 minutes.

I highly recommend doing this sequence before bed. It's simple yet effective in relaxing the mind and finding your centre. My favourite poses from the video include Happy Baby and Chair Pose. I know what you're thinking: "Why would you want to do a move like Chair Pose, that targets the legs, right before bed?" Personally, it brought some heat into my body and, by focusing on my balance, I was able to forget about the day's stressors. Of course, you can do this sequence whenever is convenient for you.

The key to this restorative yoga flow is "breathing space" into the tight areas of your body. It's full of deep hip stretches and comforting poses like Child's Pose and a variation of Savasana to end the video.

This quick flow is particularly calming because of the push-pull of the waves in the background. She ends with Happy Baby (Of course!) and Savasana, walking us through the process of internal awareness and winding down.

Though this yoga flow is a bit longer than the others, it's worth your time. It starts with a breathing exercise where you use your fingers to plug one nostril as you inhale, then plug the other as you exhale (it's surprisingly relaxing). She incorporates a lot of Forward Folds as well as a few poses using a block (which I didn't have but did anyway).
