If you woke up feeling stiff, tired, or not quite ready to begin the day, this 10-minute morning yoga practice will help you gently wake up your body and reconnect with your energy. We’ll move through bridge pose, spinal twists, hip-opening stretches, Wild Thing, Cow Face Pose, Eagle Pose, and an energizing standing flow.
Check out my post about Satya (Truthfulness).
This practice combines mobility, balance, core engagement, and mindful movement without turning your morning into a big workout. Move at your own pace, choose the variations that feel right for you, and remember: the shapes aren’t the point—your experience of the shapes is.
Today’s Yoga Wisdom Oracle card is Truthfulness: “Be a faithful servant of truth.” We close by noticing what is true in the body, the breath, and within ourselves—and reflecting on love as a deeper expression of truth.
