Move, stretch, and let go of making your yoga practice look perfect. This playful 10-minute morning yoga flow invites you to get out of your head, reconnect with your body, and experience each shape without worrying about how it appears.
We begin standing and move through low lunges, Lizard Lunge twists, Malasana, and steady vinyasas. Seated spinal twists lead into an unusual traveling transition across the mat, Crescent Lunge, Wild Thing, and Standing Split before we rest in Child’s Pose.
This practice marks the one-year anniversary of Ten-Minute Mornings. On August 18, 2025, I rolled out my mat for the first live offering. One year later, what matters is not a viral moment or a perfect practice. What matters is continuing to show up and build our yoga practices together.
Today’s card is Healing:
“Resolve the past to free the present.”
The reflection explores the stories that can hold us back—including old ideas of success, former goals, nostalgia, and expectations that may no longer reflect who we are. When we allow those stories to change, we create more freedom to experience the present as it is.
