How I did it: Every morning I do about 15 minutes of yoga, before taking a shower.

It's just a basic routine- sun salutations plus warrior (a+b) and triangle poses, twice.

So...

Do this twice (with your breath, of course):

• start sun salutation
• yoga pushup
• upward dog
• downward dog - 5 breaths
• warrior a (right side) - 5 breaths
• warrior b (right side) - 5 breaths
• triangle (right side) - 5 breaths
• yoga pushup
• upward dog
• downward dog - 5 breaths
• warrior a (left side) - 5 breaths
• warrior b (left side) - 5 breaths
• triangle (left side) - 5 breaths
• yoga pushup
• upward dog
• downward dog - 5 breaths
• finish sun salutation.

And follow with some back bends and whatever other poses suit your fancy.

Lessons & tips: It may seem tedious before you do it, but it feels SO GOOD to stretch that it becomes fun.
