Morning Yoga Stretch

Morning Yoga Stretch! This 30-minute practice focuses on stretching around the legs, the back and the shoulders to gently open and energize the body for the day ahead. The poses are held for several breaths so that everyone has time to find their pose and their edge in the pose.
The sequence starts from standing up to bring some movement and heat to the whole body before the longer stretches.
It’s very normal to feel extra tight in the morning, so be gentle with the stretches and breathe, breathe, breathe… 😊 If any stretch feels too intense for your morning, feel free to adjust or skip a pose.
I lead this practice without any props but if you usually use blocks in your practice, you might enjoy having one for this too.
This is an all-levels yoga practice and everyone is welcome to join in from beginners to advanced yogis.
