A good morning routine is a great way to get a positive start of your day. So, what is a good morning routine, you might ask yourself? Common themes are a healthy breakfast (maybe a glass of lemon water to kick-start the digestive system), exercise and meditation. Including thoughts of gratefulness into your meditation will start your day on a positive note. You might also want to set your intention; what do you want your day to look like?



The benefits of doing yoga in the morning are many. It calms your breath, it increases your focus and you become aware of how your body feels, which makes you likely to make healthier choices throughout your day. Yoga reduces stress, it boosts your energy and it makes you happy! Studies show that yoga increases serotonin levels in your brain, which can improve symptoms of depression.



If you have limited time on your hands in the morning, creating a home practice might be a solution. There are many free classes online ( www.doyouyoga.com with the possibility to sign up for a membership to get a broader supply of classes. If you are a beginner you should make sure to visit a class on a regular basis however. The teacher will be able to correct any mistakes you might be making and you’ll learn how to do the poses correctly at your next home practice. This way you will avoid possible injuries.



Some physical outcomes of doing yoga regularly are increased flexibility, lower blood pressure, increased muscle strength, weight reduction and a perfected posture. Still not convinced? Here are a few items that will make you wake up with a smile on your face, ready for those sun salutations.
