About this listen

A practical relaxation programme to settle the mind and unlock higher performance and productivity.

You need to relax. No, really, you do.

Life is busy, full of things competing for our time and attention, and it’s easy to believe that the best way to get things done is just to keep going—as fast as possible. But that just isn’t true. In fact, taking time to re-centre ourselves can have tremendous personal and professional benefits.

In this concise programme, sports psychologist Dr Josephine Perry and yoga for sports specialist Lexie Williamson will guide you through tried-and-tested relaxation techniques designed especially for busy people—which, let’s face it, is all of us.

Optimise your downtime, boost your performance, improve your productivity and wellbeing—power down to power up.

When life is hectic this is the perfect antidote to literally helping you get your breath.
You can listen back to back or dip in and out based on what you need. It is definitely bed time listening for me.
I’d get this for anyone who needs to relax, rest and revive.

Perfect to power down to!

I have used the sleep breathing exercises to relax at bedtime and find them just the right length. Lexie’s voice is so soft and soothing and just right for relaxation.

Soothing and the right length.

-Cons
Mainly aimed at athletes,followed by office workers.
No chapter titles
Narrator is not good,especially for leading relaxation exercises,their voice is not relaxing,changing speed throws off the breathing exercises,if you can't keep up,no suggestions are made so it tailors you.
Quite a bit of visualization,so not aphantasia friendly
Technical names for exercises is hardly given,so finding an exercise led by a different (say, in a podcast/YouTube) & better narrator will be difficult.
Not passionate about sports, then no alternative is given for certain practices

-Pros
Short exercises
Usually includes examples

Good,Not Great
