Morning Yoga Routine for Mobility
Starting your day with a short yoga routine can improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and support mental clarity. This sequence is suitable for most fitness levels and can be done in about 15 minutes.
Warm-Up (2–3 minutes)
Begin with gentle neck rolls, shoulder circles, and a few rounds of Cat-Cow to warm the spine. Breathe slowly and steadily.
Standing Poses (5–6 minutes)
Move through Mountain Pose, Forward Fold, and gentle lunges. Hold each pose for 3–5 breaths. These poses stretch the hamstrings, hips, and back while building stability.
Floor Stretches (5–6 minutes)
Finish with seated forward fold, spinal twist, and a brief relaxation in Child's Pose or Savasana. Allow your body to absorb the practice.
Tips for Success
Practice on an empty stomach or after a light snack. Use a yoga mat for comfort. Consistency matters more than intensity—a short daily practice often yields better results than occasional long sessions.
