Start your day with a little more steadiness. In this 10-minute morning yoga practice, I guide you through a standing flow focused on balance, active legs and a steady point of focus. We’ll move through Tree Pose, twisting high lunges and warrior poses, with options to explore Half Moon and keep the lifted knee bent when that serves you.
We begin with side bends, forward folds and a stretch through the soles of the feet before building into the standing sequence. After the movement, I share a reflection on living well and finding genuine gratitude without dismissing frustration. You can feel annoyed, angry or disappointed and still pause to recognize something you’re truly grateful for. The movement practice runs about 10 minutes; stay afterward for the card and reflection.
