FAQs

  • Dynamic Relaxation is for everyone! It is a simple and accessible practice, suitable for both adults and children.

  • There are a number of options to practice Dynamic Relaxation. They are:

    1. Free audios - using the free audio recordings available on this website in the Services section.

    2. Individual sessions with a practitioner - please contact me if you would like to discuss individual sessions or an individual course.

    3. Group sessions with a practitioner - please contact me if you would like to discuss group sessions.

  • No special clothing or equipment is needed. An upright chair is recommend for exercises that include a sitting posture, that said, if an upright chair is not available then just find a comfortable position. For example, if you are feeling tired then do the sitting exercise lying down, or if you are out in public and are not able to do the gentle movements then visualise yourself doing them instead. The exercises can be adapted and practiced anytime and anywhere, keeping comfort and safety in mind!

  • A guided exercise using the free audio recordings, on average, is between 10 – 15 minutes.

  • An individual or group session with a practitioner can take between 45 – 60 minutes.

  • Each of the guided exercises varies, it can contain a number of different relaxation techniques such as focussed breathing, body scans, gentle movements, muscle relaxation, soothing visualisations, meditation and mindfulness.

  • If you are able to, daily practice is highly recommended and encouraged. New habits are created through regular practice, leading to an increased awareness and a deeper connection with ourselves, strengthening the mind-body connection.

  • In an individual or group session with a practitioner:

    • First session – is approximately 60 minutes where the practitioner gets to know you and introduces the practice before taking you through a guided exercise.

    • Subsequent sessions – are approximately 45 minutes.

    • Audio recordings – an audio recording of the exercise will be provided after each session to use until the next session. It is recommended that the guided exercises are practiced daily, or every second day if possible, in order to get more out of the experience.

    • Sessions – each session builds on the last, especially at the start as the physical and mental techniques are introduced.
