Easy Yoga Workout. Fitness Routine for Beginners +

Ever wonder how every yoga instructor you meet has more energy than everyone you know, even at a 7 a.m. class? Yeah, coffee (or green tea) may play a role, but caffeine isn't the only explanation. The secret is, well, yoga.

Even on those mornings when you can barely drag yourself out of bed (we've been there), come to your mat—or simply your living room rug—for this sequence that anyone can do (no experience or toe-touching flexibility required!). Not only do these feel-good poses perk you up, but they'll also open your hips, stretch your shoulders, and lengthen your spine. The result: You'll walk away feeling centered, focused, and ready to own the day.
