What you need
Steps
Stand on your mat with feet hip width apart. Take a few slow breaths and roll your shoulders back and down to settle in.
Begin gentle standing sequences. Reach your arms overhead, then fold forward and roll up slowly, letting your spine move one segment at a time.
Add slow side bends and gentle twists while standing. Keep the movement soft and stay within a comfortable range.
Move into upper body mobility. Circle your shoulders, open and close your arms, and turn your head slowly side to side.
Work the lower body. Shift your weight from hip to hip, do slow hip circles, and bend and straighten your knees a few times.
Lower yourself to the floor and lie on your back for the reclined sequences. Let your arms rest by your sides.
Do slow somatic movements on your back, such as rocking your knees side to side and gently tilting your pelvis. Keep the pace slow and small.
Finish by lying still for a minute. Breathe slowly and notice how your body feels before you sit up.
Tips and common mistakes
Move slowly and keep every motion small. This is a gentle wake up routine, not a workout.
Stop or ease off any movement that causes sharp pain, especially in your neck or lower back.
Breathe steadily through your nose and avoid holding your breath.
Do the routine before you check your phone so you start the day calm.
Questions
Do I need yoga experience for this?
No. The movements are slow and simple, so beginners can follow along. Just keep your range of motion comfortable.
Can I do this on a hard floor?
Yes, but use a mat or a thick blanket for the reclined part so your back and hips are supported.
How often should I do this routine?
Doing it most mornings works well as a short wake up habit. Even two or three times a week will help with stiffness.
