12-minute morning yoga to relieve you in your day

This morning the yoga practice is short, but it is full of opportunities for intuitive movement. After all, there is no better way to relieve your day than with a stream that meets your body and mind exactly – and distinguishes – exactly where you are.

Yoga teacher Taylor Lorenz leads you through this fast morning exercise, which is designed to fit into even the busiest schemes. You can invite presence in your routine by feeling and pausing your way to breathing in areas of your body and that needs your attention the most.

The conciseness of this morning yoga practice makes your intention all the more important. “Watch your connection with the earth, your heart beating and how you feel after just a short time and dedication to yourself and this practice,” says Lorenz. You may notice no matter how different the rest of your day feels.
