5 Energizing Yoga Poses

You know you want to be incorporating yoga into your daily routine for health and well-being, pain management, stress relief and strength & flexibility (just to name a few). The thought of adding even one more thing to your day can really bring you down though, make you feel even more overwhelmed. How about trying a few poses while you are still making your way out of bed each morning.

Here are 5 energizing yoga poses for you to do before you even get out of bed! These poses will set you up for a successful day in all aspects. They will get everything going by increasing the blood flowing throughout your body therefore oxygenating all of your trillions of cells as well as picking up and carrying away toxins in order to unblock energy flow. New life can be brought to your body each morning with these poses. This morning bed sequence will only take you less than 10 minutes;

1) Cat-Cow pose

2) Happy baby

3) Baby bridge pose

4) Supine (laying down) spinal twist

5) Seated forward fold

Winter is here, it is that time of the year again when waking up early and practicing yoga becomes a difficult task and mostly ends up compromising it for an hour of extra sleep. But there are lesser-known facts about why we should practice yoga during winters and how it benefits us.

Spring is nature’s rebirth. Every year, when the soft green buds and the delicate pink blossoms appear on the cherry trees, we are given the opportunity to renew ourselves. In our yoga practice, this can be through a physical detox, a mental reboot or both.

So, it’s THAT time of year again. The cards are out, flowers and chocolates in the shops, and the candlelit tables are all booked up weeks in advance. With good reason, many of us find it all rather superficial and insincere. Perhaps some of us might join the cynical chorus asking why we need a specific day to express our affection for someone else. We may even go as far as to accuse the the forces of capitalism of driving demand for “stuff”. But I’m not here to monologue on the meaningfulness of St. Valentine’s Day, and I’m certainly not here to criticise anyone for wanting to express themselves or to show affection for someone else (we all need to be doing this more, not less).

Can yoga reduce anxiety?Yes! Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of yoga in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. In one study, women who participated in a three-month yoga program experienced significant improvements in perceived stress, anxiety, and depression. In another study, ten weeks of yoga helped reduce stress and anxiety for participants.

Happy New Year yogis! I’ve often found this time of year to be especially powerful in enhancing my yoga practice. Of course, yoga is always a powerful practice, but the gift of the new year brings deep reflection and introspection that can amplify processes of self-inquiry, expanding our spiritual awareness and commitment to yogic living.

WINTER RESOLUTION Setting intentions for how we want to move through the year is a great practice and if you know what you want go ahead craft those intentions and make those resolutions. If you’re not clear on what you really want, the only New Years Resolution I promote is to practice intentional MINDFULNESS over the course of Winter. This creates a fertile head space to reflect, imagine and create meaningful intentions and resolutions for the year.
