Swift Morning Yoga Flow Offers Accessible Stretch and Strength in Just 10 minutes
NEW YORK, NY - A new 10-minute morning yoga routine, led by Yoga With kassandra, provides a fast and effective way to stretch and strengthen the entire body, offering a solution for those seeking to incorporate wellness into busy schedules. The flow,detailed on Yoga Journal,prioritizes energizing poses and mindful intention-setting to prepare practitioners for the day ahead.
The routine addresses a growing need for accessible fitness options, especially for individuals with limited time. Unlike longer yoga sessions, this 10-minute flow avoids a final Savasana (corpse pose) to prevent drowsiness, rather concluding with a seated meditation focused on a daily intention. This approach aims to boost energy and focus rather than induce relaxation, making it ideal for a morning practice.
The sequence begins with gentle movements, including attempting to hold the left foot while pulling it toward the seat, emphasizing a twist through the upper body and sinking the hips low. This is followed by repeating the sequence on the right side, incorporating poses like Three-legged Dog, High Lunge, Side Stretch, Pyramid, and Low lunge, transitioning into Downward-Facing Dog between each side.
The flow then moves into Child’s Pose, encouraging practitioners to rest their forehead and belly on the mat with arms extended overhead or by their sides. the routine concludes with a seated meditation, prompting participants to reconnect with their chosen intention for the day.
