We all have some morning rituals, some enjoy the silence with morning coffee, there are those who just fall out of bed and are already in a hurry at work. And there are those who like their morning to start with yoga. That is how it is with habits. It is easier for us when we have them, but we should also choose them carefully, because we all know how much effort it takes to get rid of bad habits. Yoga is certainly a good habit, which empowers us to get rid of some other bad habits.


There are many real reasons to start the day with a morning yoga class.


Improves mood

If you are a morning type, you will easily be motivated to make morning yoga the joy of your day. But even if you're a morning wretch who wakes up tired, practicing yoga in the morning will be invigorating. No matter how lazy and difficult you wake up, after practicing yoga, you will perform the demands of the day with a clear mind, energized and in a good mood. Regular morning yoga practice will help you sleep better, prolong the intervals of deep sleep, so you will wake up asleep and rested. Practicing yoga increases the secretion of hormones of happiness, which are responsible for feelings of satisfaction, joy and good mood. At the same time, it is a good defense against worries, depression and anxiety. That is why the body and the brain will recognize your yoga routine as their ideal reward, so waking up will become easier for you.


Healthy muscles and joints

The first thing we do in the morning, even before a cup of coffee, is a goooooood stretch. During the night, our muscles are inactive. Due to dormancy, between the connective tissue and the muscles begins the deposition of layers of toxins and body fluids, which cause stiffness, cramps and frequent and chronic pain. We can only release them by stretching. Our body knows that, so it immediately sends us information to stretch. If you start the day with yoga, you move and stretch your body, help to get rid of these deposits and keep the health and vitality of your joints and muscles.


Eliminates back pain

Improper body positions while sitting, standing or sleeping, cause changes in the spine and pelvis. Lack of physical activity, mental and emotional tension, make the muscles of our backs either too relaxed or too stiff. This tonal imbalance is the most common source of back pain. With moderate and dedicated yoga practice, we stretch and strengthen the muscles of the back and pelvis. We improve blood circulation and circulation in this area, we develop body awareness and proper posture. Breathing techniques and relaxation calm us down, release pain, tension and accumulated tension. And let's prepare to respond to the challenges of the day ahead with as little effort as possible.


It calms us and relaxes

In order to wake up in the morning and clear up after sleep, our body stimulates us with cortisol, a hormone that we mainly bind to stress. And in order to raise our system at the beginning of the day, the level of cortisol is the highest in the morning. During the day it drops slightly until evening, so we can fall asleep. And that is why it is important to start the day calmly. Pressed by daily commitments and deadlines, we tend to speed up and stress from the moment we wake up. Rushing, hurry, tension, only further raise the level of this hormone and we lose the chance to avoid nervous tension. But when we start the morning with yoga, we balance our autonomic nervous system. We calm the sympathetic nervous system, which keeps us in a state of alert, and we activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which relaxes us, gives us clarity, clarity and focus. Physical activity wakes us up better than a cup of coffee, so cortisol can rest.


Time for yourself

Yoga is a personal practice. And it's about ourselves. Everything that happens in a yoga class is our personal experience. The time we spend practicing yoga is just our time. We are focused on ourselves, our body, our thoughts and our emotions. After class, without a doubt, you can hug yourself and be grateful for the time you have taken for your physical and mental health. Starting the day with this feeling is soothing and liberating. And when you tick off all the other benefits that yoga gives us, it is certain that you will have the strength, energy and mental stability to endure all day, all the demands and desires, no matter how challenging they were.


So, without hesitation, sign up today for your morning yoga class. And do something important for yourself.
