The post 3 Yoga Poses to Boost Your Energy appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>Start by lying facedown on a yoga mat and bend your knees so your feet are up towards the ceiling and grab your ankles with your hands. Press your feet away from your head, ankles heavy in your hands, knees hip-width apart, and lift your chest off the ground. Breathe deeply for five to 10 breaths.
Start with both feet together and step your left leg back and form a high lunge with the right knee bent. Inhale and straighten the legs and lift the arms high. On the exhale, come back down to a high lunge, reaching the left arm forward and right arm back to twist the upper body. Inhale back to center with the legs straight and arms high and go to the other side, right arm forward and left arm back. Do 10 to 20 reps, swap the legs and do the same on the opposite side.
Stand with your feet together, bend your knees and sink your hips back as if sitting down in a chair, reaching your arms high towards the sky. Inhale lengthen through the spine and on the exhale, take your hands together to the center of the chest in a prayer position. Twist to the right, placing your left elbow outside your right thigh, looking over your right shoulder. Inhale back to chair pose and exhale and do the twist on the other side. Do this for one minute, alternating between sides.

]]>This pose is great for your back, hips, thighs, and ankles. Start in a seated position with your knees wide and the toes together, with your butt resting on your heels. Walk your hands forward on the mat, until your arms are straight and the forearms are on the floor. Lower the torso so it rests on the thighs and the forehead should be on the mat. Hold for at least 30 seconds.
The downward-facing dog is great for your lower back, hips, and hamstrings. Start on all fours and tuck your toes and lift the hips into the air. Straighten the legs and shift the weight back into your feet so you are in an upside-down ‘V’ shape. Hold for 20-30 seconds, keeping the weight balanced between both arms and legs.
The high lunge hold is great for the lower body. Start with your feet together at the front of the yoga mat and fold forward. Place your fingers on the floor and step the left foot back. Lift the torso up until the shoulders are above the hips. If you are more flexible you can do a backend, if not just keep the torse straight and engaged, arms straight up to the ceiling. Hold for 30 seconds and do the same on the right side.
This pose is a great stretch for the inner and outer thighs and the lower back. Sit on the mat with the soles of your feet together and the knees out to the side. Holding your feet start to lean your upper body forward towards the mat and go as low as you can. If you can reach your forehead to the mat without any pain then stay there if not then you can use a block or a rolled-up towel to lean on. Hold the pose for 30 seconds.
