In Hong Kong's high-pressure life, many have forgotten what real relaxation feels like. We're accustomed to raised shoulders, clenched jaws, and shallow breathing without realizing it. Yoga teaches us to recognize tension and consciously release it.
Relaxation doesn't just happen in Savasana but runs through entire practice. In challenging poses, we learn to use only necessary effort, relaxing parts that don't need to work. This "relaxation within effort" is yoga's essence and life's wisdom — learning to find ease under pressure.
True relaxation is active, not collapsing on the couch scrolling your phone. It requires consciously scanning your body, noticing where tension exists, then choosing to let go. The more you practice, the faster you'll notice tension arising and the easier you'll relax. This skill is invaluable in daily life.
