Trying to beat the summer heat? While it may seem counterintuitive to get on your yoga mat, you can actually cool down your body with asanas that will both help restore and rejuvenate your body–especially when the temperature is rising outside. Whether you're at home, in the backyard, or at the pool, try these 5 relaxing poses to cool off your system!
The ocean naturally relaxes the mind and spirit. Taking yoga, specifically "yin" or restorative yoga, to the beach will help calm you even more–especially if you’re feeling stressed out or overwhelmed. The rhythmic crashing of the waves will actually ease your brain into alpha waves, slowing down the parasympathetic system, along with your entire body. Sync your breath with the ocean waves while flowing through these 5 poses that will have you feeling oh-so-zen within minutes.
Mother Nature’s monthly visit can also bring about those not-so-fun set of aches and pains. While reaching for chocolate or OTC meds to combat cramps may seem to be the best course of action, put the pills and sweets aside and instead ease the pain with a gentle yoga flow. Not only will these five poses support achy quads and thighs, open the hips, and relieve the body of menstrual discomfort, they’ll also calm the mind and open the heart.
This hard + fast HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout is a fitness staple in my home for me and my husband. Whether you’re new to rapid cardio circuits or are a HIIT champ, I’ll help take you to your edge and then guide you in cooling down and stretching out.
Beautifully begin your morning by practicing these eight yoga asanas in the warmth + comfort of your bed. These poses not only gently awaken your body, but also leave you feeling calm, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the day!
