Description

A grounding 10-minute morning yoga practice for stiff hips, tight shoulders, and waking up the spine without forcing anything. Today’s flow includes seated twists, figure four stretches, Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose), lizard lunges, pyramid pose, cat/cow, and gentle backbending — all with an emphasis on length, breath, and arriving honestly into the day.

200 Mornings Later | Warrior Flow, Skandasana & Showing Up

Two hundred mornings later, the lesson is still the same: a few mindful minutes can change the direction of an entire day. In today’s practice, we’ll move through cat-cow, plank and cobra variations, Warrior I, Warrior II, Skandasana, chair pose, bridge pose, and a simple flowing vinyasa sequence. We close with a reflection on the Yoga Wisdom Oracle card Eternal Existence, illustrated with Warrior III, and a reminder that while the body is temporary, the deeper observing self endures. 🎥 Today’s YouTube practice: https://youtube.com/live/uAJ_S4c7Ehc [https://youtube.com/live/uAJ_S4c7Ehc] TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 00:19 200 Mornings Later 00:38 Cat-Cow + Core Activation 01:36 Plank, Cobra & Down Dog 02:11 Warrior I, Warrior II & Skandasana 03:24 Warrior Flow Side Two 05:02 Chair Pose 05:47 Flowing Warrior Sequence 08:25 Chair Balance + Crow Prep 08:54 Bridge Pose 09:23 Card Pull: Eternal Existence 11:18 Thank You for 200 Mornings Yoga Wisdom Oracle Deck by Anthony Salerno.

episode Ujjayi Breath for Turning Inward artwork

Ujjayi Breath for Turning Inward

Today’s 10-minute morning practice uses ujjayi breath, mindful movement, and simple breath-led shapes to help you turn inward before the pressure and pace of the day take over. We begin with seated breath awareness, then move through cat-cow, downward dog, chair pose, warrior one, pyramid pose, cobra, and a closing card pull on compassion. If you’re listening audio-only, don’t worry about doing it “right.” Just move and breathe in a way that feels honest.

Wake Up, Open Up, and Find Balance

Today’s 10-minute practice is a simple morning reset: seated grounding, twists, forward folds, crescent lunges, gentle warrior flow, thread-the-needle, butterfly fold, boat pose, and malasana. It’s less about making impressive shapes and more about waking up honestly — noticing what feels tight, what feels open, and where your body asks you to stop.
