Best Morning Yoga Poses For Beginners

Wide Leg Forward Fold

The wide leg forward fold is slightly more advanced than the chair pose. But it’s still great for beginners and is great for a 5-minute morning yoga routine.

Start by placing hands on hips and turning to the left, making sure your feet are wide apart. Move toes in and heels out until your feet are parallel to the ground, then make sure your heels are aligned.

Next, lengthen your torso while stretching your head’s crown upward. Fold forward starting with your hips. Look behind you by dropping your head down.

Rest hands on the floor and keep your elbows bent. Move weight to the balls of your feet and walk your hands further back. Ideally, your fingers will eventually line up with toes and heels. Bring elbows above your wrist and then draw quadriceps upward. See if you can move the crown of your head to the ground and then release after a minute of posing.

Revolved Chair Pose

As you might imagine, the revolved chair pose is simply a variation on the original chair pose. It is one of our favorite morning yoga poses.

The beginning works similar to the regular chair pose. However, you bring your hands together as if you are in prayer. From here, you twist your upper body to one side so that you can look at the sky. Keep one bottom elbow on the opposite knee during the twist and reach the other elbow towards the sky.
