i believe so, its easy to relax the mind when the body is relaxed

For me personally, it's easier to relax my body. Since the beginning of my meditation journey, I've been successful at relaxing my body but the relaxation of mind only came after some practice. So even if you're able to relax one or the other, don't worry because that's just part of the process. There is no right and wrong, just let go of your expectations of what the relaxation should be and that once you relax one only then you can relax other etc. Just try to relax the best you can and give up trying to control everything. Once you do that, it should hopefully come easier. At least that's how it's been for me.
