🧘 Workout of the Day — Yoga Essentials Flow (25–30 min)
💡 Why This Works
This sequence looks gentle—but it sneaks in strength, mobility, and balance. Each pose flows into the next so you feel calm and invigorated. Great for mornings, lunch resets, or unwinding after work.
⚡ Energy & Time
- Duration: 25–30 minutes
- Energy Demand: Light–moderate (RPE 4–6/10). Expect gentle warmth, loose joints, clear breath.
- Space/Equipment: Yoga mat, quiet corner, optional block or cushion
🔥 Mindset & Motivation
Today’s mantra: “Simple is powerful.” Don’t rush—linger in each posture, breathe deeper, and let small moves create big results. This isn’t about “workout max”; it’s about stacking calm strength.
📋 How It Works
Move through each pose with slow breaths (3–5 per side). Flow once for a lighter session, twice if you want more. Focus on smooth transitions, not perfection.
