Starting the day with a few minutes of yoga can have a lasting and profoundly positive effect on your life. Whether you're an experienced practitioner or just getting started, taking time to do some morning stretches can energize you and set the tone for the rest of your day. Try it out and experience the power of yoga! Sometimes it is not possible to do it on your own, look out for an online yoga class and follow the practices with professionals. Try out these simple poses and report back to me later on. I am intrigued to hear the results of your experience. 1. Cat/Cow Beginning in a tabletop position with the hands under the shoulders and the knees under the hips, inhale deeply, allowing the belly to drop while eyes gaze upward and the tailbone curls upward. Exhaling, rounding out, and contracting crown (top of head) to tail (back of the calf). When engaging your arms, ensure that you are evenly spreading your weight through each finger and knuckle instead of piling it all into your wrists. 2. Gate Pose Bend sideways by stepping the right leg out to your side with the foot flat against the floor. Make sure that your ankle, knee, and hip are all in a straight line. Then, slowly walk your hands back until you can lift your shoulders over your hips. Finally, reach up with your left arm and over into a side bend while letting your right-hand slide down the extended leg for further flexibility. If you are looking for professional training, search for a yoga teacher near me. 3. Reverse Warrior To begin, curl the back toes under and lift the back knee off the mat. Rotate the back toes outward, so that they are parallel to the short edge of your yoga mat. Make sure that your front heel is in line with your arch in the back. Then, extend both arms out in front and then behind you while flipping your palms up. Finally, bring your left hand to rest on your back leg while raising your right arm up and over.
