That’s why I’ve nixed my alarm and replaced it with the Yoga Wake Up App, designed by my amazing friends at Kamala Collective. Instead of being jolted awake by an awful alarm clock, you’re slowly welcomed back into your body with beautiful music, magical chimes, inspiring meditations, gentle stretches, and energizing yoga flows.
