Inspire - A Morning Stretch

Dreading the start of Monday?  Me too.  Of course everyone seems to get the case of the Monday's.  Rather than sulking in the dreariness of the realities that Monday's often seem to bring, I am going to try and start the week off on the right foot.

I have always loved doing yoga, but never seem to be able to find for it.  Although a lot of people do yoga for the physical benefits it offers, I always seem to get the most out of it mentally and emotionally.  Something about the flow and the smoothness is simply calming and centering to me.  But, being in college and having a jam packed schedule every day is obviously not conducive to living "calmly" and I tend to forget to breathe sometimes.  When I saw this awesome 15 minute yoga asana to balance your root chakra off of the Free People Blog, I was so excited to try it out.  Come the morning time I did, and I loved it.  It helped start my day out on the right foot and calmed my energy so I wasn't a total mess running around from class to meeting to class to practice.

I am going to try and start doing this at least a few times a week if not more.  Since it is so short and not that difficult, it is hard to get bored doing it.  Even if you don't feel a mental difference, at least it is a great morning stretch!  Go ahead, try it out- you might be pleasantly surprised :).
