Awesome Yoga Poses and
Health fitness tips To Practice In
The Morning
According to my opinion, Yoga in the morning is a amazing things to stay fit, healthy and energetic.
There are countless and awesome assans and tips that all have amazing benefits. So I actually found it really challenging to pic some of them. In my this article I will give you some of them.
1. Surya Namaskar
(Sun Salutations)
There are several variations to this sequence of postures known as salute to the sun. They’re traditionally practiced as the sun is rising, and whichever version of Surya Namaskar you practice, they’re a great way to warm up and start to sync movement of the body with the flow of the breath.
As they work all of the 7 major chakras, they’ll help you light up energetically and the rhythmic movement can help create a sense of inner calm.
2. Parivrtta Utkatasana
(Revolved Chair Pose)
I mean, if you’re
going to go to all the trouble of sitting down in your not-so-comfy Chair, you
might as well get the twisting benefits of the revolved variation right?!
Twisting poses have a squeeze and release effect on your digestive system and
internal organs so they help promote detoxification. And on that note, I’d hold
off on breakfast until after your practice if you plan on getting twisty...
3. Adho Mukha
Svanasana (Downward Facing Dog)
If you only have
time for one in the morning, I’d make it this one. The whole body’s involved so
it’s a great way to wake up every part of your physique. That beautiful stretch
through the backs of the legs and hips just feels incredible. It’s little wonder our canine friends do this one naturally
when they wake up...
4. Utkatasana (Chair Pose)
It’s most commonly
called Chair Pose, which kinda suggests something
comfortable and relaxing. Personally, I think it’s more appropriate to use one Utkatasana’s other translations, Thunderbolt, Fierce Pose
or Awkward Pose.
Call it what you
will, Utkatasana is an amazing way to generate heat
in the body and quickly build energy. It activates the core and the legs and
challenges your mind to stay present and positive, all great benefits for a
morning practice.
5. Trikonasana (Triangle Pose)
One of the classic
yoga asanas, Trikonasana
helps to give you a strong sense of grounding and stability through activating
and balancing the root chakra, Muladhara. It powers
up the legs and core, and the subtle twist allows you to open and light up the
heart space. Beautiful.
6. Prasarita Padottanasana
(Wide Leg Forward Fold)
I prefer this
wide-legged forward fold to Uttanasana in the morning
because it seems to feel better in my body, but of course both are great
options. You’ve got glorious lengthening in the spine,a stretch through the hamstrings, and the effects of
the inversion help you face the day with calmness and clarity. There are 3
variations of Prasarita Padottanasana,
you could do all, or pick one that works best for your body.
7. Hang
Tight
Not being able to do a
pull-up doesn’t mean you shouldn’t step up to the bar. Simply hanging on for as
long as possible can improve your upper-body strength, Montenegro says.
Concentrate on keeping your body as still as possible, and you’ll naturally
recruit your abs, hips, and lower back in addition to your arms, she explains,
or slowly move your legs in circles or up and down to further engage your abs.
8. Pep Up Your Run
Sweet chili peppers may not be a winter food, but
continue eating them in your burritos, stir-fries, and soups, and you may burn more fat during your outdoor cold-weather runs. These
not-hot veggies contain chemicals called capsinoids,
which are similar to the capsaicin found in hot peppers. Combine capsinoids with 63-degree or cooler temps, and you increase
the amount and activity of brown fat cells—those that burn energy—and give your
metabolism an extra boost
9.
Freshen Your Breath and Your Muscles
Consider including
peppermint in your pre-workout snack or drink. In a small study published in
the Journal of the
International Society of Sports Nutrition, men drank 2 cups water with 0.05 milliliters (basically, a
drop) peppermint oil mixed in and then ran on a treadmill to test their stamina
and power. The mint appeared to help relax muscles, boost oxygen to muscles and
the brain, and elevate pain threshold, leading to improved overall performance.
10.
Must
Pushup
It doesn't matter how many pushups you can do in a
minute if you're not doing a single one correctly. “There is no point in
performing any exercise without proper form,” says Stokes, who recommends
thinking in terms of progression: Perfect your technique, then
later add weight and/or speed. This is especially important if your workout
calls for performing “as many reps as possible” during a set amount of time.
Choose quality over quantity, and you can stay injury-free.
11.
Skipping
The best training tool you're not using: a jump rope.
Not only is it inexpensive, portable, and easy to use almost anywhere, you’ll
burn about 200 calories in 20 minutes and boost your cardiovascular health.
12.
Yoga while getting ready for rest
As in
the morning, it’s very helpful for your body, mind, and spirit if you develop
an evening routine before going to bed. Shut off all electronics, including the
Television, and spend some time enjoying the quietness of the evening. Start
with a short meditation, an Epsom salt bath with essential oils like Lavender
to help you wind down, or even a few calming yoga asanas.
Also, read in the evening, but be conscious of what you’re
reading - you’re trying to wind down and settle your mind.
