Morning Yoga Routine | 15 Minute Daily Slow Yoga Stretches is nice, relaxing yoga flow from Sara Beth. This is uncomplicated and moves slowly as the title indicates. I used it today as one of my recovery day workouts. Since it is so short, I combined it with one of Sara’s other practices: 15 Minute Deep Stretching Yoga for Hamstrings, Hips & Inner Thighs, which is another slow and relaxing practice. I warmed up with a short rebounder workout from Naomi Joy. Overall, it was a wonderful, feel good recovery day workout. Between the two 15 minute yoga practices I feel like my entire body was stretched out nicely.
Morning Yoga Routine | 15 Minute Daily Slow Yoga Stretches is 15:51 minutes. It is actually 14:30 minutes; the last 1+ minute is Sara talking about one of her other practices.
