Remember that consistency is key - stick to your routine even when faced with challenges or disruptions. Along with invigorating you and getting your blood flowing, doing a simple morning yoga routine will work out any kinks or stiffness you wake with so that you physically feel a lot more ready to attack the morning. If you’re spending a lot of time sitting at work, include a variation of low lunge in your morning practice. Another powerful pose to practice if you sit a lot at work is Pigeon. It’s easy to make yoga work anywhere-all you need is a modest amount of space and a desire to create a healthier body and a more peaceful mind. If it’s the middle of winter or you don’t have outdoor plants, apply the same principles indoors. At about the same time me and my little brother talked about me having a drum set, I strongly believed that I would be just absolutely fantastic at drumming!

But if you’re not in the mood for a run or a trip to the gym, yoga is a good way to get moving, and you can do it in as little as five minutes. Stay and breathe for five to eight deep breaths. You can stay in bed for an extra few minutes and read the headlines on your phone without even getting dressed. The mat has a mode with built-in workout options (that are read aloud from your phone or tablet) for home yoga, and can also be used in a class setting so you can monitor your balance and position in situations where an instructor might not be able to give you the one-on-one attention that you need to improve. Do this initially upon waking, after the essential oils, but before the yoga, coffee or breakfast. You may even find that you are more sensitive to the effects of coffee for several days in a row, which can really help you get started in the morning. You may also be someone who has a hard time working out if you haven’t eaten anything, but then you have to wait for 30 minutes before commencing exercise or you’ll get a stomachache.

And for the next weeks every time I felt defeated, angry, hurt or REALLY angry because of my sickness (see: What cancer does to somebody like me) I would sit behind my drum set and just SMASHED all my anger, hurt and frustration out of me. If you have a hard time waking up, practice morning yoga in bed! Surat Shabd Yoga arose in India in the last several hundred years, specifically in the Sikh tradition (Nanakpanthi) founded by Guru Nanak. Last year I showed my friend Jess how to do sidecrow, as my teacher Jordan had taught me. There are only benefits to starting your day this way. Starting your day with a glass of water can do wonders for your energy. Starting your day with a solid 8-16 ounces of water is one of the most important ways you can instantly boost your energy in the morning. You can even take it one step further by using a diffuser in the morning in the kitchen or bathroom so that you can breathe these oils in as you get ready for your day. Citrus oils are the go-to oils for energizing and invigorating, so try keeping a bottle of lemon, grapefruit or frankincense on your bedside table.

As you hold positions and move through sequences, try "box" breathing, suggested Dr. Natalie Nevins, a family medicine physician and an assistant dean at the Western University of Health Sciences. Instead of a bowl of cereal, try a ham and egg sandwich, a bowl of leftover stew, or a homemade breakfast burrito. A bowl of cereal, yogurt, fruit or granola are all quick breakfasts to prepare that provide you with a healthy boost of energy to jump-start your day. This may seem like a no-brainer, and that is probably how you already start your day. I had a pretty tight schedule: Monday afternoon: chemo, Tuesday: side effects, Wednesday morning: farm work, Wednesday afternoon: chemo, Thursday: side effects, Friday morning: farm work, Friday afternoon: chemo, Saturday: side effects, Sunday: farm work and sometimes something fun and Monday morning: farm work before we drove up to the hospital and start the whole cycle again… For instance, if you normally drink 3 cups of coffee/day, 6 days before your trip you will need to start cutting back. In this article, we will discuss how doing yoga in the morning will leave you energized all day long! The next day I simply could not get out of bed.
