The Key Poses

Check In

Mountain Namaste

The quick routine starts with a gentle side to side stretch and a Mountain Pose check in. When life if busy and your thoughts are scattered taking a couple of breaths to close your eyes and check in will make everything flow smoothly.

Energize

It’s amazing how a little movement in the morning can make a huge difference to both your flexibility and reducing the chance of injury and to your brain performance. Movement is one of the key ways to eliminate Brain Fog and help you think clearer all day. Sun Salutations, Balancing Poses and the Yoga Warrior Power Poses all help to boost our energy and help the day flow smoothly.

Release and Cool Down

Before running off the mat and out the door take a moment to catch your breath in Ragdoll or Forward Fold, then come back to this relaxed alert state when your mind starts to spiral out of control.

Great Mornings Start the Night Before

Eat dinner by 6pm so your body has finished the work of digestion and can completely rest during sleep.
• Go to bed by 10 pm. Each hour of sleep before midnight is equal to 2 hours after midnight.
• Use a calming or relaxing scent like lavender to help soothe you to sleep.
