Yoga can help us tap into spring energy. Whatever the weather feels like outside, or inside your room or your mind, we can bring a feeling of sunshine in and you’ll feel brighter.

Here is a version of a classic yoga sequence called a ‘Sun Salutation’ which can be a helpful way to start the day. Do it once leading with your left foot and then repeat leading with the right. 

Caution: 

Take care not to move into pain – if it’s uncomfortable, stop and rest.

Mountain Stretch: 

Reach up to the sky.

Forward Bend: 

Fold forward from the hips.

Lunge: 

Step left foot back.

Crescent Moon: 

Drop onto knee and lift arms to the sky.

Lunge: 

Return hands to the floor.

Downward Dog: 

Step right foot back and lift hips back and up.

Cow: 

Drop onto knees and arch your back.

Cat: 

Round your back.

Downward dog: 

Tuck toes and lift hips back in.

Lunge: 

Step left foot forward.

Forward fold: 

Step right foot forward.

Half fold: 

Press into feet to come halfway up.

Mountain stretch: 

Reach up to the sky.

Mountain: 

Bring hands together.

Repeat:

Repeat the sequence, leading with the right foot instead of the left.
