About this video

Learning how to relax takes practice, but over time it can help release tension in your body, calm your mind and improve your mental wellbeing.

In this 30-minute video, instructor Beth's soothing words and relaxing moves help you leave the stresses and strains of the day behind and prepare for restful sleep.
