"This 12-minute morning power yoga for core strength delivers full-body strengthening and stretching with an emphasis on strengthening your abs, back, and obliques. The short morning yoga routine takes you through a mix of poses that challenge your core strength in different ways, including letting you play with different Plank Pose variations. It's definitely a stronger intermediate approach to a yoga practice and a great way to not only get your workout in but boost your energy."
"Start lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet near the edges of the mat. Then drop both knees and thighs over to the left as if you're pausing while taking windshield wipers. Stay here or intensify the stretch by crossing your left ankle over your right knee and allowing your knee to release toward the mat."
A 12-minute morning power yoga routine targets core strength with a focus on abs, back, and obliques while delivering full-body strengthening and stretching. The flow mixes plank pose variations and core-challenging postures to build stability and endurance. Breath awareness and a simple intention practice—choosing one word to capture a desired feeling—are included to boost energy and mental clarity. The routine requires no props and leans toward a stronger intermediate level. Early-morning stretches such as reclined QL releases and reclined bicycle engage the lower abdominals and prepare the body for active core work.
