10-Minute Yoga Routine For Relaxation And Renewal

1.

Welcome to your 10-minute yoga routine for relaxation and renewal. Let's begin by finding a comfortable seated position on your mat.

2.

Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with fresh air. As you exhale, release any tension in your body and let go of any thoughts or worries.

3.

Bring your hands to your heart center and set an intention for your practice. This could be anything from finding peace to letting go of stress.

4.

Next, gently roll your shoulders back and down, lengthening your spine. Inhale and reach your arms up overhead, stretching your fingertips towards the sky.

5.

As you exhale, twist to the right, placing your left hand on your right knee and your right hand behind you. Take a few deep breaths here, feeling the twist in your spine.

6.

Inhale and come back to center, then exhale and twist to the left. Keep your breath slow and steady as you deepen the twist with each exhale.

7.

Release the twist and come back to center. Now, let's move into a gentle forward fold. Inhale and reach your arms up, then exhale and fold forward, reaching for your toes.

8.

Take a few deep breaths here, feeling the stretch in your hamstrings and lower back. If you can't reach your toes, you can use a strap or simply rest your hands on your shins.

9.

Slowly come back up to a seated position and bring your hands to your heart center. Take a moment to check in with your body and notice how you feel.

10.

Take one last deep breath in, and as you exhale, release any remaining tension. Congratulations, you have completed your 10-minute yoga routine for relaxation and renewal. Namaste.
