Yoga Warm Up Routine 1 (Standing)

*For specific guidance in relation to technique, repetitions, sets and recoveries please email us at info@optimal-movement.co.uk

This is a basic standing yoga routine designed to help you get warmed up. The poses will help you to feel balanced and strong in the standing position.

When you perform the routine make sure your weight is distributed evenly through both feet. Keep your breathing relaxed and rhythmical throughout, moving from one pose to the next with a fluid motion.

Here’s the sequence:

Mountain Pose
Tall Mountain Pose
Standing Side Bend (both sides)
Walking Forward Fold
Forward Fold with Flat Back
Walking Forward Fold
Back Bend
Mountain Pose

We recommend holding each pose for 5 to 10 breathes, and you can repeat this routine two or three times if you like.
