How to Release Tension, Improve Mobility & Regulate Your Nervous System | Lauren Roxburgh

You can be strong, disciplined, and still spend every hour of the day braced for impact. What if the tightness you keep stretching isn't a mobility problem at all, but stress your body was never meant to carry?

Lauren Roxburgh, a fascia and body alignment expert I've known for nearly 13 years. She is known for her work on fascia, the nervous system, and body intelligence. We talk about why "working in" matters as much as working out, where stress gets stuck in the body, and why fascia may be the missing link between tension, pain, and how you age. Start with five minutes tomorrow morning: get outside, take a few deep sighs, and move before the day pulls at you. Strength gets built on that foundation, not in place of it.

What we explore:

- Why "working in" balances your training and calms a wired-and-tired nervous system.

- What fascia is, and why stretching alone misses it.

- How the physiological sigh resets stress and improves sleep.

- Why pelvic floor tension isn't just about childbirth.

- How to heal old injuries with whole-body alignment.
