"This 10-minute morning yoga class is one of my more popular practices. It's a strength-based yoga practice that not only focuses on helping you build strength but also challenges you to find your body-brain connection. Essentially, it helps you become strong not only in your movements but in your mind. And you can practice it any time of day that you have time."
"Take a few deep breaths here, in and out through the nose. You'll be practicing your core strength, but right now, allow your belly to be relaxed and soft. Feel how the inhale inflates the lower part of the stomach and then let it fully deflate as you exhale, as if you're dropping your belly button toward your spine. See if there's one word that comes to mind as your intention for the day."
A 10-minute morning yoga sequence emphasizes building physical strength and cultivating a body-brain connection through coordinated movements and breath. The practice challenges coordination in movements and transitions to provide a useful mind-body challenge that helps prepare the practitioner for daily situations. The flow is intermediate level and requires no props, though props are optional. The sequence begins lying in Reclining Butterfly/Bound Angle Pose with arms overhead to stretch shoulders and upper back and guided nasal breathing. Core strength becomes a focus after initial relaxed breathing and belly release. The practice closes with a seated moment to select and focus on a single intention word for the day.
