Practice your balance and start your morning with movement, breath and attention. In this 10-Minute Morning Yoga practice, I guide you from grounding breathwork into lunges, twists and a standing balance sequence that moves from pyramid to standing split to half moon. Let go of any need for perfection, find a point of focus, and keep breathing.
We begin with low lunges, lizard, wide-legged forward folds and triangle before bringing those foundations into a more active flow. There’s time to explore the transitions on both sides, with the option to use yoga blocks for support in pyramid. After about ten minutes of movement, stay with me for stillness and a longer card reflection on what you really need today.
Card Pull
Today’s card is “Temperance” from the Yoga Wisdom Oracle Deck. It depicts a seated spinal twist, and its printed message reads:
“Answer the call of your soul.”
What does your deepest self need? I reflect on our basic needs, love and connection—and leave room for the question to stay open as we move into the day. As I say near the end: “Icing is great, but it’s not the cake.”
