Are you looking to kickstart your day with energy, focus, and positivity? A morning yoga routine could be the solution you’re looking for. Yoga can help calm the mind and set a positive tone for the day ahead. In this blog post, we’ll explore simple yet effective morning yoga routines that can fit into a variety of schedules.

5-minute Morning Yoga Routine
Short on time? Try this 5-minute morning yoga routine focused on essential spinal movements. 
Seated Spinal Twist: Begin in a cross-legged seated position. Inhale and raise both arms overhead. As you exhale, twist your torso to the right and place your left hand on your right knee. Your right hand can either rest on the floor behind you or on your right hip. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.
Cat-Cow Stretch: Shift onto your hands and knees (Tabletop Position). Inhale as you arch your back, dropping your belly (Cow Pose), then exhale as you round your spine, tucking your chin (Cat Pose). Repeat for one minute.
Downward Facing Dog: From Tabletop, tuck your toes and lift your hips up and back. Keep your spine straight and hold for five deep breaths. You can pedal your feet to stretch the calves.
Cobra Pose: Lie face down on your mat. Place your hands under your shoulders. Inhale and lift your chest off the mat, keeping your elbows slightly bent and your shoulders away from your ears. Hold for three breaths, focusing on lengthening your spine.
Child’s Pose: Transition to Child’s Pose by sitting back on your heels and stretching your arms forward on the mat. Allow your spine to relax and melt into the floor, holding for five breaths to end your 5-minute routine
