Routine categories
Relaxation routines to unwind with gentle stretching.
Relaxation routines pair slow, comfortable stretches with steady breathing to help you settle. They are calm by design, so they suit the evening, a break in a busy day, or any moment you want to release everyday tension. Flexor guides the pacing and breathing cues so you can simply follow along.
About Relaxation
Calm movement and steady breathing
Relaxation routines keep everything gentle: slower stretches, longer comfortable holds, and breathing you can settle into. The point is to feel calmer and looser, not to work hard. Many people use them to close the day or to take a genuine pause from screens and tasks.
When to use a relaxation routine
They fit the evening wind-down, a mid-day reset, or any time tension has crept in. Because intensity is low, you can use them often. If your goal is post-exercise wind-down specifically, the Cool Down category may fit better; for rest-day movement, try Recovery.
General wellbeing, not treatment
Gentle movement and breathing can feel soothing, but relaxation routines are general wellness content, not a treatment for stress, anxiety or any medical condition. Use them as a pleasant habit, and seek professional support for persistent difficulties.
Move comfortably
Keep everything slow and comfortable and let the breathing set the pace. This is general wellness content, not medical treatment; seek professional support for persistent stress or health concerns.

Common questions
When is the best time for a relaxation routine?
Any time you want to feel calmer works, though many people favour the evening as a wind-down or a mid-day pause from screens and tasks. Because the movement is gentle and low intensity, you can use these routines often. Keep the stretches comfortable, follow the breathing cues at your own pace, and stop if anything feels sharp rather than soothing.
Can relaxation routines help with stress?
Gentle stretching and steady breathing can feel soothing and are a pleasant way to pause, but these routines are general wellness content, not a treatment for stress, anxiety or any medical condition. Treat them as a calming habit rather than therapy. If stress, low mood or sleep problems are persistent or affecting your life, please speak with a qualified professional.
How are relaxation routines different from recovery?
Relaxation routines focus on calm and unwinding, pairing gentle stretches with breathing, while recovery routines are low-intensity movement aimed at rest days between training. They overlap and both stay comfortable. Choose Relaxation when the goal is to settle and de-stress, and Recovery when you mainly want easy movement after or between workouts. Flexor keeps both as distinct categories.
