Iyengar Yoga 30-Min Morning Practice

There is nothing like a practice first thing in the morning.

No matter if you run to the mat or drag yourself out of bed, it’s guaranteed to change your perspective, help you check in with your mind and body and give you that little push that was needed for your physical emotional health, and well-being.

Most of all, this time – no matter if 30 minutes or 2 hours – is one more day you gave to yourself to develop and get to know yourself in a more intimate way. The joy and happiness you derive from this over time are indescribable and invaluable. It may not seem like much at the moment but trust me – you will reap the benefits of time on the mat!

So, appreciate each day you benefit from that mental and physical stability, and be grateful we have this opportunity of day-to-day support along the journey of life.
