Yoga Poses : As an avid yogi and morning person, nothing beats beginning the day with an introspective yoga session to center myself and remain grounded and aware. Plus it gives me time to thank the universe for another chance at life!
As we focus on bedtime and weekend routines, it can be easy to forget the significance of our morning ritual. But how we begin each day can set the pace. An effective morning routine not only boosts productivity, but it can also set the foundation for future success.
Resetting intentions or confronting challenges head-on are among the many goals you might want to accomplish each morning; yoga poses offer a fantastic way of making a morning ritual that gets your body moving before bedtime. Here are 8 yoga poses perfect for creating such an effective ritual!

But the true definition of ritual is simply following a particular pattern of behavior on an ongoing basis and with specific intention in mind. When transitioning between our nighttime routine and morning routines, having a ritual to help ground us both physically and psychologically is vitally important.
As soon as you step out of bed and into your day without taking time for yourself to fully awaken, your body may leave you feeling groggy and unmotivated to accomplish your daily goals. Incorporating morning yoga rituals can help center and ground your energy – keeping your focus positive throughout your day!
