Iyengar Yoga Morning Practice

This simple morning practice helps you wake up gradually while maintaining the stability needed to create space through breath, length, and width. Pay attention to your breath as you invigorate yourself with twists and backbends. Stay connected with your breath to cultivate gentle quietness during inversions and forward bends. Observe the differences.

Enjoy your practice. 🙏🏻
