You love exercising in the morning, but there just isn't time to get to the gym! Instead, enjoy some morning yoga stretches in your Flagstaff apartment. These stretches will wake you up and give you the energy to face the day. Since you can do them right at home, you don't have to make time for the ride to the gym, and you can shower in your own shower.

Spinal Stretch

Sit cross-legged and press your sit bones into the floor. Lengthen your spine by reaching up with your head. Keep both of your sit bones on the floor during this stretch. Place your left hand on your right knee, and then inhale and lengthen your spine. Exhale, and then twist to the right. Breathe, and then return to the center. Repeat the process for the other side, and the repeat the whole process several times. If the floor is not comfortable for you, do this stretch while sitting on a firm pillow or pile of folded blankets.

Puppy Dog

Get down on all fours. Tuck your toes and press your hands and fingers into the floor. Lift your hips up and push back. While your knees are bent, “wag your tail.” Bring one heel toward the floor while you straighten that leg behind you. Breathe, and then bring that leg back under you. Straighten the other leg. Repeat.

Runner's Stretch

Get into the lunge position. Lift your hips up toward the ceiling while sliding your hands back a bit. Let your front leg straighten as much as possible. Press your back heel toward the floor. Your toes will angle out just a bit. Keep the leg as straight as you can while your hips are up in the air. Relax the upper part of your body over your front leg. Breathe. Switch sides and do the same steps. Repeat both sides several times.
