We thought you might like a minute to yourself and away from the stuffing, so we've asked our ambassador, January Newland, for a yoga pose to help you restore the peace.

Half Tortoise Pose

January suggested Half Tortoise pose, an all-levels yoga pose known for deep relaxation that can aid digestion. Here's how you get into it:
