"This 10-minute morning yoga practice is a mix of strengthening, stretching, balancing, and breathing. Because it's more of a strength-based practice, it requires a more than a little effort from you first thing in the morning. And because it's a short practice, it's a little fast-paced to fit a lot into 10 minutes. It includes some dynamic movement and playful corework along with a standing sequence that stretches and strengthens you in all the ways you need."
"We go through the poses fairly quickly since we only have 10 minutes. Although if you have a little more time, you can slow your pace. At the beginning of your practice, consider thinking of a one-word intention for how you want to feel throughout your day. Keep coming back to that during your practice and beyond. You can also use your practice time this morning just to set an intention for the day ahead. 10-Minute Morning Yoga"
"Reclined Knee to Chest Start by lying down on your back. Then bring your right thigh toward your belly and keep your left leg extended straight on the mat. Flex your left foot by drawing your toes toward you as you push through your heel to find even more length along your leg. Relax your head and shoulders and use only the slightest bit of arm strength to pull your right knee toward you and then open it a little toward your right shoulder."
A compact ten-minute morning yoga routine blends strengthening, stretching, balancing, and breathing into a strength-focused practice. The sequence emphasizes dynamic movement, playful core work, and standing sequences that both stretch and strengthen. The pace is brisk to fit many elements into a short time, though practitioners can slow down if desired. The practice invites choosing a one-word intention to return to throughout the session and the day. The sequence is accessible to all levels and does not require props, while offering simple reclining and twisting poses with breath-focused guidance and gentle alignment cues.
