Summary

Yoga-for-sports specialist Lexie Williamson and sports psychologist Josephine Perry have created Power Down to Power Up an incredible audio guide for 'reluctant relaxers'. The brilliant Lexie talks Stevie and Tessa through relaxation techniques, the importance of the para-sympathetic nervous system and how to give your brain a rest. Anyone who's ever struggled with meditation, can't grasp the concept of emptying your mind, hates the man's voice on the Headspace app, or whose shoulders have been up around their ears since 2010, this one is for you.
