Morning Yoga for Beginners

Unfortunately, the morning awakening for most of us is not quite a pleasant surprise. Alarm goes off and instead watch your beautiful dream, we have to get up, eat breakfast and go to work or school. At this point, we want to cheer up quickly.

Even as a child, we were taught that in order to be cheerful and efficient during the day, the morning is good to start with a charge. With this statement hard to argue. If we want our body as long as possible to keep a youth and health, and mood as often as possible was raised, the physical development should be our habit that brings not only benefits but also fun. Therefore, I would like to talk about the complex asanas, which will help to cheer up in the morning, recharge the body and mind for the day, as well as lift your mood.

Note that in the morning the body bends are much worse than in the afternoon. So do not hold to, enter the asanas gently, without effort, use the auxiliary materials. In addition, asanas can be done standing against the wall, it was to support. During menstruation should not do inverted postures ( Salamba Sarvangasana and halasana ).
