5 Min Morning Yoga to FEEL AMAZING!
One of the best ways to start the day is to practice Morning Yoga. You can do this to replace bad habits and increase your mood. It has numerous benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety and increasing serotonin levels. It also increases blood flow, allowing more oxygen to your cells and enhancing your body’s functions. Practicing yoga can improve flexibility and functional mobility, which is especially important for people who are suffering from chronic pain.
Firefly Pose stretches your hamstrings, hips, and arms. To do this pose, squat down and place your hands on the floor inside your legs. Place your upper arms close to your upper thigh, and shift your weight into your hands. Make sure to keep your center of gravity back and your legs straight. This poses is excellent for back pain relief and can help you start your day with confidence.
By doing morning yoga in the morning, you can switch off your sympathetic nervous system and activate your parasympathetic nervous system. This is the more beneficial system for your health. It helps you get out of bed with a positive mood. It will give you more energy and a stronger body and mind. The best part is that you don’t have to spend hours exercising to get these benefits. You can simply start your day with Morning Yoga!
Some yoga poses increase your energy levels. This is due to the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which helps prepare you to defend yourself. Backbends, chest openings, and balance poses all activate the sympathetic nervous system. These functions evolved from our ancestors, who needed extra energy to fight off predators. Since modern humans rarely face squirrel attacks, we don’t need to worry about getting attacked by a squirrel anymore!
Aside from strengthening the legs, Low Lunge will also open up the hips and engage core muscles. Try lowering your hips into this pose first thing in the morning, before getting up from bed. If your work requires it, try adding a breath of fire. Alternatively, you can lower your back foot to the floor. As you do this, your spine should remain long. And you can try a variation of this pose using a chair or a block.
Another option to try Morning Yoga is to subscribe to YouTube channels. Some of the most popular yoga instructors are on YouTube. Adriene Mishler is a famous yoga teacher with over 10 million subscribers. Her yoga videos are not perfect and include mishaps in her life. A dog wandering into the video frame, a noisy neighbor, or a loud outside noise can all distract her from your focus. Despite these flaws, her videos are highly popular with yoga enthusiasts.
After doing this, you should set an intention for the day. Choose a positive word or sentence to set the mood for the day. I personally like to focus on happiness when practicing yoga. Hands and knees pose is one of the best for warming the spine. To get into the position, align your shoulders and your wrists with your fingers and place them together. Next, try hips above the knees and inhale the tail, taking care not to overextend your neck.
