Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Somatic Progressive Muscle Relaxation – Guided Release for Deep Calm

by Chloe Wood (SMACCPH) of Fresh Leaf.

This deeply restorative somatic progressive muscle relaxation session is designed to help you reconnect with your body, release stored tension, and cultivate a profound sense of calm.

Through a gentle, guided sequence, you’ll be invited to slowly tense and soften different muscle groups while bringing mindful awareness to physical sensations. This somatic approach encourages you to listen to your body’s signals, helping to discharge stress, regulate your nervous system, and restore balance from within.

Perfect for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or physical tightness, this practice supports:

• Deep muscular relaxation
• Nervous system regulation
• Improved body awareness
• Emotional release and grounding
• Better sleep and recovery

No prior experience is needed. Simply find a comfortable position, allow yourself to be guided, and give your body permission to unwind at its own pace.

By the end of the session, you’ll feel lighter, calmer, and more connected—both physically and emotionally.

Ideal for: daily stress relief, evening wind-down routines, or anytime you need to reset and recharge.
