Unless you’re one of those cheery morning people who wake up feeling ready to take on the day, getting up is *tough*. No matter how many hours I’ve slept or how much I’m looking forward to the day, you can count on me to hit snooze a handful of times before I begrudgingly will myself to roll out of bed 🥱

The good news is, I’ve found that taking 5 minutes to stretch helps me shake that sleepy, groggy feeling away, leaving me feeling more alert and ready to take on the day. Here are three (of many) favorite feel-good yoga poses that I like to do first thing in the morning, holding each one for 5-8 breaths:

1. Reclined Spinal Twist - my favorite part of this is that you can do this while you’re still barely awake on your back! Give yourself a big hug while you’re at it. 🤗

2. Seated Figure Four - the slowest transition from lying down to pushing myself up and getting my feet off the bed. Feels sooo good on the outer hips!

3. Hands Behind The Back - this one can be a little intense at first, especially first thing in the morning, so feel free to keep a bend in the elbows as you reach the knuckles down towards the bed.

Now you’re ready to start your day! ☀️
