The day is going to start with you or without you. Wouldn’t you rather be there for it?
This 10-minute morning yoga practice begins with firm grounding and simple lunges before building into an energizing flow with Downward-Facing Dog splits, high lunges, prayer twists, Wild Thing, and optional revolved half moon. Each round invites you to use the strength of your foundation to create more length, stability, and freedom of movement.
Stay with the prayer twist, keep both feet grounded, or explore the balance options. There is nothing wrong with wobbling. The practice is not about holding every shape perfectly—it is about rooting, connecting, breathing, and being present for your day.
Today’s Card
Today’s card is The Self, pictured as an L-shaped headstand:
“When your mind is balanced, you abide in your true nature.”
The reflection asks what happens when we stop treating our worried, catastrophizing thoughts as reality. What if the time we spend grounded, focused, and centered is what is real—and the rest is the dream?
