Perform This 10 Min Yoga Workout To Boost Your Flexibility!

We all know by now that Yoga is good for us! It helps us with mental strength, boosts our recovery and, of course helps us improving the flexibility and over all health!

That’s crucial to finishing your workout feeling optimistic, peaceful, and inspired—and hopefully, a little more appreciative of what your body just did for you.

But there’s more! Even if you aren’t a yogi, it’s practically impossible not to look forward to a wind-down when you’ve been pushing yourself for half an hour or more. You might even find yourself cranking up your intensity just to ‘earn the reward.

7 Yoga Moves You Need for a Stronger Back

Only 10 Minutes!

Yes, just 10 minutes! Directly after your workout, focus on slowing your breath bit by bit.

Inhale for three seconds, hold for three, then exhale for three; add a count each round until you’re inhaling, holding, and exhaling for six breaths.
This gradually gets you from panting heavily to calm and focused.
Then perform this flow in order, starting with your vinyasa and going back to it between every sequence.
Repeat each sequence on the other side, vinyasa included, until you’ve made it to your final sequence, then repeat the entire flow twice.
