I love Yoga!
And, no, I don’t stand on my head or balance on one arm. I like “gentle” yoga.
A few reasons why I like yoga – especially in the mornings:
- it stretches and activates my body – removes stiffness from during the night.
- it gets the “chi” (or whatever it is?) flowing
- it quiets my mind – this can be especially helpful in the morning when my tendency is to run through my to-do list in my head.

I do very much enjoy going to my local Yoga Studio (shout-out to Yoga in the Pines!) – but they don’t always have classes going when I’m ready for them.
So, “the YouTubes” always provide me with some great Yoga sequences to do!
I’ll update this list as I find more I enjoy – make sure and sign up for my free newsletter and I’ll keep you updated.
Here are my favorite Gentle Yoga Sequences for Self-Care:
Gentle Morning Yoga with Adriene
30 minutes
I like that this is slow moving and gentle – that’s what I need early in the morning!
There’s nothing too funky in this one – I mean, no poses that make me fall over! But seriously, you just do what you can – it’s not supposed to hurt so don’t push it – especially first thing in the morning.
I like Adrienne’s voice and attitude. She’s calm, soothing and just a little silly…. ie. the “drunk cat cow”.
And by the way… this video would be great to do anytime of day!
Adrienne has tons of great yoga videos online – check out the Yoga with Adriene YouTube Channel here.
15 Minute Gentle Morning Yoga with Candace
This is another nice calm yoga video for morning.
I like the hip openers in this one a lot.
Candace has a bunch of great yoga videos online – check out the Yoga by Candace YouTube Channel Here.
I hope you enjoyed the videos.
