The new you total-body yoga routine is perfect for any fitness level. After all, everyone needs a good flexibility routine! It’s modifiable, making it simple enough for beginners, but challenging enough for the most avid yoga enthusiasts. Practicing yoga regularly can and will make you feel like a new person!
Flexibility is a foundational element to every fitness routine. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a runner, dancer, cyclist, or weightlifter, you need to be loose and limber in order to avoid injury. There are several other benefits of yoga, including, but certainly not limited to:
- Better balance & coordination
- Improved posture
- Improved flexibility in joints (greater range of motion)
- Strong and healthy muscles
- Decreased stress and boosted positivity
The “vinyasa” or flow of this routine will help you move seamlessly from one move to the next. This total-body workout contains a few moves that focus on one side of the body at a time. For this reason, you’ll need to complete the entire routine at least two times through. Focus on your left side during the first round, and then your right during the second. It should take you approximately 15 minutes to complete.
You can feel free to complete 2,4, or even 6 total rounds depending on how much free time you have and how tight your muscles feel. It is recommended that you perform this routine a minimum of 3 times weekly.
