The morning awakening is a difficult part of everyday life for the majority of people. Here we will see in simple steps how we can make the awakening a simpler case by taking advantage of just five minutes of your breakfast.
The key is exercise. Whether it's yoga or not, studies show that when awakening is done in a way that stimulates blood circulation in the body, the hormonal system of the body balances and helps you to continue vigorously the rest of the day. It also detoxifies the body.
Initially, move slowly and carefully, ignore the body and mind resistance that pull you further into bed and you will soon be on course for a morning full of endorphin and for a day full of energy and self-confidence.
Now, indeed, it is worthwhile to wake up!
GODDESS POSE
As a first move, lie down your back. Place the legs together and open the knees. Place one hand on your chest as you begin to take deep breathing from the nose.
Inhale and expand your body by raising your hands. Hold your breath for a few seconds, then let your breath take you naturally and calm as your hands fall.
At the end of the expiration, shrink your navel to gently press the rest of the air from your lungs. Hold the exhale for a few seconds.
Repeat with 10 breaths.
HAPPY BABY
Lying back on the back, we bend our corners to the right and to the left respectively from our chest, with the fingers of the hands pulling our toes, thus having our armor between our legs and hands.
Push the edges towards the mattress so that it is not your waist.
Hold for 5 to 10 breaths
SUPPORTED SHOULDERSTAND
Remove the cushion from your head and bend your knees to lift the hips and place the cushion down. The feet and the hips should rise above the heart and the heart above the head. You can keep your feet up in the air or use the bed or wall to support it.
Keep it for at least 10 breaths.
SEATED EAGLE
Turn slowly on your right side and bring your body into an easy squat seat. Wrap your right elbow left, bend your hands and touch your left fingers in the palm of your right hand. Lift your elbows to the shoulders, but keep your shoulders loose. Stretch your spine and after a few breaths stretch the upper back, bringing the chin to the chest.
Take 5-10 breaths at this posture and then repeat with your left elbow on top.
GREETING POSE
Sit with your legs straight ahead. Touch the foot of your right foot on the floor - raising the knee - next to the left hip. Keep your left foot stretched out with your toes looking up.
Touch the palm of your right hand behind your right hip, turn your torso right and with your left elbow press your right knee.
Stretch the spine with each inhalation and twist the trunk as deep as you can with each exhalation. You look at the wall behind you.
Stay at this position for 5-10 breaths and repeat from the other side.
Five minutes yoga in the morning so you will quickly realize that coffee is unnecessary.
