"Whether you identify as a morning person or cling to the covers for as long as possible, transitioning from a sleeping state to a waking one requires a significant shift in awareness. Rather than rolling out of bed and groggily-or frantically-jumping into your usual a.m. regimen, pausing to practice morning yoga provides a more mindful transition to the waking world. Consider your yoga mat to be a liminal space between dreamland and reality. Then see how much more promising the day feels post- Savasana."
"A first-thing mini-yin flow makes for a luxurious morning. Yin yoga is all about sustained holds, although yoga teacher Devi Daly allows that if you're in a rush, you can opt for for as long-or as little-time in each as you can spare. Practice finding stillness in the discomfort and watch that sense of inner ease permeate your entire day."
Morning yoga offers a mindful transition from sleep to wakefulness by creating a liminal space between dreamland and reality. Short, intentional routines accommodate different moods and needs, promoting relaxation, core strength, gentle awakening, or energized readiness. A 15-minute yin flow focuses on sustained holds and finding stillness to foster inner ease. A 10-minute hybrid yoga-and-Pilates sequence targets core strength and builds confidence for daily challenges. A 12-minute intuitive flow encourages aligning body, breath, and spirit while addressing tight or stiff areas. Brief morning practices can make the day feel more promising after Savasana.
