5 Yoga Postures to Feel More Energized



Yoga is about moving energy, so it's really just getting on the mat and practice every sequence raises the possibility will make you feel more relieved. And, when I say energy, I mean-energy is not good in 5 cups of espresso, restless energy, which usually make you bigger slump. Sometime we feel tired. Because we are trying to move faster than our bodies really want us, or we feel like the demands on us are too big to actually handle. Usually during this type of thing last times we think to do is stop and take 30 minutes to do some yoga postures, but we promise, the result will be better than the $ 5 espresso and much more durable as well. The following sequence of postures that mainly relies on energy, including backbends, inversions, balance and posture.


Begin by sitting in sukhasana (easy pose) with your legs crossed and spine length. Place your palms on your knees with your palms up. Begin to deepen your breath, bring your breath to the root of the body and the base of the spine. Visualize the energy moving through your palms and circulate throughout your body. Stay here for a few minutes, connect to your breath, and allow your body to soften into the pose.

After that, warm up your options, including the bend pose like a cat / cow or soft. Follow this with a sun salutation 3-5, finishing in tadasana.

1. Virabhadrasana III (Warrior Pose III)
Stand in Tadasana, exhale and step your left foot back, moved into high lunge position. Right knee should be at right angles. Place your hands on right thigh, and extend through your body and spine. You should feel like your body perpendicular to the floor, do not stand out to the front or rear. Inhale and extend your arms in front of you as if reaching the horizon. The arm should be at shoulder height. On an exhalation, lift your left leg off the floor, keeping your hips parallel. Keep your feet and legs actively moving with the toes turned toward the floor. Pull your stomach, helping to stabilize your core. Stay here for five breaths.

2. Chandrasana Ardha (Half Moon Pose)

After your last breath in the Warrior III, gently bend the right knee and turn your gaze to the floor. Place your right fingertips on the floor about 12 inches in front of the right foot with your thumb out of your little toe. (You can also place your hand on the block if your hamstrings or lower back feel tight.) With an inhalation, gently lift the left leg off the floor, open your hips to the left and expand your heart. Place your left hand on left hip as you turn left leg and foot open spiral up to the ceiling. If you feel balanced, extend your left arm straight to the ceiling, creating a line of energy through the fingertips of your left, lengthen through your body, and down through your right fingertips. Stay here for five breaths ...
