Ignite Your Life Daily Yoga Asana Practice

THE YOGI LIFE DAILY YOGA PRACTICES | BASIC LEVEL

Waking Practice

This practice is your way to start the day right with a few simple movements that create a head to toe stretch, and help you clear physical and mental stagnation. This is your opportunity to set the tone for your day, each and every morning. Feel free to modify and create on your own, once you get the hang of these poses and movements. Use yoga blocks or home made props as needed for stability and support. Remember to breathe deeply in and out through you nose, with an open throat, and to keep your gaze soft and focused as you move.

1 Standing Half Moon on Right/Left Side

2 Thumb Pull in Tadasana
