A 10-Minute Gentle Morning Yoga Practice

In the midst of hectic mornings and crazy schedules, finding a moment of calm and focus can be a game-changer for your wellbeing, mental state, mood, and general wellness. That’s why I always recommend starting your day on purpose with a morning routine. It might come as no surprise to you that I always recommend this one thing to add into your routine: a yoga class.

It doesn’t have to be a sweaty, hour-long practice (unless you’re feeling that way inclined), but a short, gentle practice can give you all the benefits you need for a good day. This class in particular is just that: a positive, gentle, accessible (you can do this from a chair or your bed) morning yoga session crafted to kickstart your day with positivity, energy, and a sense of calm.

The practice

Join me on the mat as I guide you through deliberate, intentional movements designed to awaken your body and mind. This 10-minute session is a blend of gentle stretches, controlled breathing, and mindful postures—all aimed at providing a refreshing start to your day. No fancy props needed, just a yoga mat (or a chair) and a willingness to set this time aside for no-one else but you.

Reap the benefits

As you move through this gentle morning session, you’ll notice the positive impact it has on your overall energy levels. The deliberate pace allows you to connect with your breath, increase circulation, and bring a sense of focus to your mind. Like all my recommended morning routine rituals, it’s a powerful way to set a tone of intentionality and mindfulness that can carry through the rest of your day.

Start a habit

Try making this class a part of your daily ritual. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just starting on your journey, this practice is accessible to all levels and can be easily incorporated into your morning routine. It’s a small investment of time with big returns in terms of increased energy, mental clarity, and a positive outlook. And think about the ripple effect of these returns to the way you parent, the way you work, relate to others, problem-solve, and create. Don’t take it for granted; these perhaps small wins at the start of your day can mean huge changes further down the road.
