August 15 is National Relaxation Day, and Wellbeats is totally on board! We can help you relax with our collection of mindfulness class classes, like Chill.

Take some time for yourself in this relaxing, five-minute mindful breathing session. Wellbeats instructor Erin P. guides you through breathing exercises to help you destress, relieve tension, and “chill” no matter where you are.

Founded in 1985, National Relaxation Day advocates chilling out and promotes stress relief through meditation and other relaxation techniques.

5 Stress-Busting Facts about Relaxing

1. Relaxing is healthy.

Your breathing pattern and oxygen levels are affected by stress. Relaxing and doing breathing exercises help circulate more oxygen into your bloodstream and have major health benefits.

2. Music soothes us.

For many people, simply listening to calm music is enough to lower stress levels.

3. Put ‘relax’ on your to-do list.

A study reported that 40% of people don’t take time out for relaxing while 45% of people just don’t know how to relax.

4. There are three types of relaxation.

Relaxation is classified under three categories: physical, mental, and transcendental.

5. Relax, but focus.

Just a minute or two of relaxing between tasks results in increased focus and concentration.
