Reset & Reconnect - A 25-Minute Yoga Practice to Step Away from Social Media
Feeling Drained? This Yoga Practice Will Help You Reset
You pick up your phone just to check one thing… and suddenly, 45 minutes have disappeared. You feel restless, overwhelmed, and somehow still unsatisfied. Sound familiar?
Social media is designed to keep us hooked, our minds overstimulated, our nervous systems in overdrive. The constant scrolling, comparing, and consuming pulls us away from ourselves, leaving us exhausted yet unable to truly unwind.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to quit social media entirely to find balance again. A simple reset can make all the difference.
This Yoga Flow Is Your Reset Button
This isn’t just another yoga practice. It’s a guided reset to help you break free from the digital fog, step out of autopilot, and come back to yourself.
Designed specifically for those moments when you feel stuck in a loop of scrolling, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm, this 25-minute practice will help you:
- Release Tension with Hip Openers - Social media often leaves us disconnected from our bodies. Emotions, stress, and subconscious anxieties build up especially in the hips. By moving through deep stretches and opening this space, you create an emotional release, leaving you feeling lighter and more grounded.
- Build Confidence with Core Activation - The core (or Manipura Chakra) is your center of confidence and personal power. When we get caught up in comparison mode, it’s easy to feel like we’re not enough. Activating the core rebuilds inner strength and reminds you that you are already whole, without the endless scroll for validation.
- Open Your Heart & Let Go of Self-Doubt - The constant pressure to do more, be more, and keep up can make us close off, not just physically, but emotionally. Heart-opening poses help counteract this, inviting you to soften, trust, and reconnect with your inner worth. As you flow, repeat the affirmation: I am good enough. Just as I am.
- Reset Your Nervous System with Breathwork - Instead of numbing out with screens, this practice brings you back to your breath. Slow, intentional breathing shifts your body from stress mode into deep relaxation, creating a sense of calm, clarity, and presence.
