10-Minute Yoga Practice for Lazy Days (No Energy Required)
Briefly

A short, low-effort yoga sequence emphasizes ease and restorative movement. Two blocks or household substitutes provide support for gentler alignment. The practice begins in Easy Pose and moves into Revolved Head-to-Knee, with the option to rest the elbow on a block or release the arm behind the back. Stargazer Circles follow, with a hand on the floor, gentle hip lifts, and sweeping arm circles. The sequence repeats on both sides, encourages relaxed breathing, and is suitable for mornings, evenings, or intentional pauses when minimal effort and calm are desired.
Sometimes, lazy yoga just feels right. While powerful vinyasa flows and long holds in yin each have a place in your practice, opting for a low-key sequence can offer an antidote to a culture defined by speed and productivity. Whether you're starting the day, winding down, or intentionally pausing somewhere in between, an almost effortless practice invites ease and peace.
Extend your right leg straight and bring the sole of your left foot to the inner right leg. Walk your right fingertips along your inner right leg and reach your left arm overhead in a side bend. To make this pose even more relaxing, place a block or other supportive prop beneath your right elbow and rest your head in your right palm. You can also choose to release all effort and bring your extended arm behind your back rather than overhead.
