A Soft Morning Yoga Flow to Open Your Body and Reset Your Energy

Morning yoga doesn't have to be intense. It doesn't have to be long. It just has to be present. Here's a soft, 10-minute flow to open your body and reset your energy. ## Why morning yoga matters Your body holds overnight tension. Morning movement releases it. It sets your nervous system for the day. It creates space before the world begins. Soft movement creates profound change. ## The flow: 10 minutes of presence ### Minutes 1-2: Centering breath Sit comfortably. Hands on belly. Inhale for 4. Exhale for 6. Feel yourself arriving. Feel yourself present. ### Minutes 3-4: Neck and shoulder release Gentle neck rolls. Shoulder shrugs. Release the stories you carried from yesterday. ### Minutes 5-6: Spinal awakening Seated twists. Gentle side bends. Wake up your spine. Create space. ### Minutes 7-8: Heart opening Seated heart opener. Chest lift. Open your heart. Invite in possibility. ### Minutes 9-10: Grounding Forward fold or child's pose. Root down. Feel supported. ## The philosophy behind softness Soft yoga honors your nervous system. It doesn't push. It invites. It doesn't demand. It allows. This creates safety. Safety creates change. ## Customizing for you ### If you're tight Focus on gentle stretches. Hold poses longer. ### If you're tired Keep it seated. Less movement, more breath. ### If you're energized Add gentle flows. Connect poses smoothly. ### If you're emotional Stay with breath. Let feelings surface and pass. ## Making it a habit ### Set up your space Soft mat. Cushion for sitting. Candle or crystal. ### Same time daily Create the cue. Let your body anticipate. ### Track your feelings How do you feel before? After? Notice the transformation. ## The gifts of morning yoga • Calmer nervous system • Clearer mind • More energy • Better posture • Deeper self-connection Morning yoga doesn't just move your body. It moves your life. Start soft. Stay consistent. Watch transformation unfold.
