Meditation isn't everyone's cup of tea.
If you're looking to relax and unwind but don't see yourself as the chilled out kind of person, rage yoga could be your thing.
Traditional yoga can be a hugely powerful tool in the fight against stress, while also keeping your joints supple for hitting the weights room.
But if you've got pent up anger to release, you might want to chance your hand at the enraged variation.
The founder of rage yoga describes the practice as
"involving stretching, positional exercises and bad humour, with the goal of attaining good health and to become zen as f*ck".
Whether you're wound up by work stress, money worries, traffic jams or an argument with your partner, sitting back and relaxing isn't always the most appealing option.
Sometimes you literally just want to smash the sh*t out of something.
Boxing is one way to smash through your stress, but rage yoga is an entirely different ball game.
Here's a clip in which the founder explains a little more:
