Daily routine yoga sequence suggested by a proficient yogi, emphasizing a brief, four-posture yoga flow for a stimulating morning start

Nick Higgins, Co-founder and Head of Teaching at Hotpod Yoga, suggests a short, invigorating Yoga Flow to boost energy levels in the morning and sharpen focus for the day ahead. Hotpod Yoga is renowned for its dynamic, flowing sequences in a heated room (35–37°C), which further enhances the effects of these exercises.

The Recommended Sequence

The sequence recommended by Nick Higgins is a Mini-Vinyasa Flow that stimulates the body, deepens the breath, and clarifies the mind. Particular emphasis is placed on conscious breathing, which awakens energy and enhances concentration.

• Nick has been teaching yoga for over a decade.
• Nick has helped hundreds of teachers refine their teaching techniques.
• The yoga flow consists of the following exercises: Vinyasa, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle, Half Moon Pose.
• Nick's yoga flow raises energy levels and mentally prepares for the day ahead.
• In the Half Moon Pose, move through the Vinyasa again.
• From the down-facing dog position, transition into a high plank, then a low plank position.
• In the Extended Side Angle, keep the torso open and extended, with the chest facing forward.
• In the Half Moon Pose, step the left foot back down and return to a plank pose.

The Poses

1. Vinyasa: From the down-facing dog position, push through the arms to lift up into a cobra pose. From the cobra pose, return to a down-facing dog position.
2. Reverse Warrior Pose: From a standing position, step the left foot back, open up the inside of the back leg, and bend into the front leg. Keep bending into the front leg and activate the back leg.
3. Extended Side Angle Pose: From a standing position, step the left foot out wide to the left, turn the left foot out 90 degrees, and bend the left knee. Extend the right arm up to the sky and reach the left arm down towards the left foot.
4. Half Moon Pose: From the extended side angle, lift the left leg parallel to the floor while keeping the hips and chest open.

This yoga flow is designed to energise and prepare the mind for the day ahead. Practice it whenever you need a boost of energy and focus.
