Morning & Evening Flow

This Yoga Flow is a great way to begin or end your day. With so many demands placed on us with family, relationships, work and our own personal goals, it’s easy to feel stretched past what you can handle. A simple yoga practice for 10-20 minutes will absolutely reset your mind, alleviate stress, increase endorphins and give you clarity. I recommend pairing this flow with a few minutes of mediation either before or after. This is a great way to jumpstart your day or calm your mind before bed.
