Morning Yoga Routine
This routine appears to be designed as a gentle, grounding sequence to start the day.It includes:
- Standing Twist: Begin standing, raise arms to the sky, exhale and twist to one side, bringing hands to heart center.
- Standing Forward Bend: continue the flow into a Standing Forward Bend.
- Repeat on Opposite Side: Shift weight and repeat the Standing twist and Forward Bend sequence on the other side.
- Downward-Facing Dog: From Standing Forward Bend, step back into Downward-Facing Dog. Option to flow through a vinyasa (Plank, Chaturanga, Cobra, back to Down Dog) at your own pace.
- Knees to Chest: Gently lower knees to the ground,flip onto your back,draw knees to chest,and rock gently from side to side for 2 breaths. Bring head to knees for 1 full inhale.
- Savasana (Corpse Pose): Exhale into Savasana and rest for 1-3 minutes.
- Pencil Stretch: (The text is cut off here, but it indicates a Pencil Stretch follows Savasana.)
