Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar)
Perform a cycle of 12 poses in a flowing sequence to warm up the body and energize the system for the day ahead. It promotes cardiovascular health and full-body flexibility.
Child's Pose (Balasana)
Kneel on the floor, touch your big toes together, separate your knees and bend forward, extending your arms. This pose helps to calm the brain and relieve stress and fatigue, a gentle stretch to start the day.
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)
Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, lift your hips up creating a bridge. This pose strengthens the back, buttocks, and hamstrings and opens the chest and heart to start the day with an open posture.
Triangle Pose (Trikonasana)
Stand with your feet wide apart, extend your arms to the side and lean over your front leg so the hand reaches the shin, floor, or a block, while the other arm stretches up. Trikonasana stretches and strengthens the thighs, knees, and ankles, stimulates abdominal organs, and improves digestion.
Mountain Pose (Tadasana)
Stand with your feet together, arms by the side, and distribute your weight evenly across the soles of your feet. Tadasana improves posture and, when done in the morning, can help establish a grounding and conscious awareness for the day.
Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)
With feet hip-width apart and hands forward, lift the hips up and back to create an inverted V shape. It energizes the body, stretches the hamstrings and calves, and strengthens the arms and legs.
Cat-Cow Stretch (Marjaryasana-Bitilasana)
Start on your hands and knees in a tabletop position, alternate between arching your back (Cat) and lifting your head and tailbone (Cow) to warm up the spine. Improves flexibility of the neck, shoulders, and spine.
Warrior I (Virabhadrasana I)
Begin in a lunge with the back heel grounded, raise your arms overhead with palms facing or touching. This pose builds focus, power, and stability while stretching the chest and lungs, shoulders and neck, belly, and groins.
