Quick Yoga Routine

Many people find that fitting in a full yoga routine can take too long. Excuses are no longer necessary, because there are quick yoga postures (or asanas) which can be done within a period of 5 to 15 minutes. These small spurts will give the body some refreshment and even make you feel more awake. Keep in mind that you must pay extra attention to keeping yourself from stretching too deeply, since you will not be fully warmed up in such a small period of time.

1. My Daily Yoga Has quick routines and movements which can be done while sitting at a desk or while waiting for a flight at the airport.

2. Canadian Living has a great, 5-step routine for relaxing at bedtime.

3. Shareguide.com offers a little longer routine of 15 minutes.

4.The University of Alberta has a concise page full of several 12 minute routines if you want something in between 5 and 15.

Remember to breathe and take all of the stretches carefully! Namaste!
