Start Your Journey to Reduce Tension

I’m excited to help you on your journey. My name is Joanna Hoffren. I am from Finland and will be your guiding voice in this course.

These quick exercises will help you release tension from your body. I recommend opening your palms first and then doing the tension-free body awareness exercise. Palm opening will help you reduce muscle tension in your hands and shoulders.

You can come here to do these exercises as often as you want. If you are under a lot of stress, do these two exercises daily.

Exercise 1 – Palm opening

Here is a fast and efficient way to open your palms to stretch the fascia lines up to your shoulders.

Open your fingers as wide as you can. Press your fingertips against the wall, ensuring your hand is in the correct position. Then press your joints to the wall and then the whole palm.

Hold for 30 seconds up to 1 minute/stretch. You should feel the stretch in your palm or arm, not your shoulder.

Move your hand backwards to press your fingertips against the wall, fingers pointing down.

Press your fingertips against the wall, fingers pointing up.

Press your fingertips against the wall, fingers pointing back.

Exercise 2 -Tension-Free in 20 Minutes

Take a comfortable position and release the tension from your body. Let your body do what it wants during the exercise. There is no need to try to relax, just be in this present moment in your own body.
