Our mornings are not always accompanied by active and awake activities. Most often in the morning we feel sluggish, and the ringing of the alarm clock only prevents us from concentrating and coming to our senses. Each person chooses their own way to cheer up. It can be a cup of coffee or tea, music and a hot shower… But if you didn’t already know it, morning yoga is just as invigorating as a freshly brewed Americano.

We met with Yoga_Method trainer Mikhey Pavlov during one of the practices at Quiksilver New Star Camp and compiled for you a universal set of five classic asanas for morning exercises. By performing these asanas, you will feel better, more awake and energetic. Yoga will warm you up and give you a sense of inner harmony for the whole day.
