Morning Yoga Routine To Awaken and Energize

Yoga practice is great at any time of the day, but I do love to begin each new day with an energizing routine to help awaken the body and mind.

The above video is a routine that you can try at the start of your day too. It is not guided so you may wish to watch it once first to get a feel of the postures (asanas) involved.

The practice begins with a few rounds of sun salutations to warm up the body and increase the heart rate, before moving on to the main asana part.

It was my intention originally to add narration, however I am currently experiencing some microphone issues! Since it’s the first ever yoga video I have made any feedback will be more than welcome. Please feel free to comment below.  If you would really prefer some narration over the video then let me know, and I’ll find away to resolve the microphone issue. 🙂

 

Namaste!

Not All that Wonder are Lost…

P7170524 23

Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien

Sometimes we need to wonder, travel, explore and experience life from a different perspective in order to draw inspiration and wisdom. Do not be afraid to come out of your comfort zone every now and again. Open your mind and heart to possibilities, welcome the unknown and embrace it. Have the courage to try something new, learn something new, visit a new place, whatever it may be, remember to stay attuned to your inner self and allow yourself grow and develop on a personal level.
