In the mood for something a little more high energy? Check out these trendy workouts.
Let's address the Ganesh (err, elephant) in the room. You wear yoga pants regularly. But you actually practice yoga...maybe...once or twice a month? For busy women everywhere -- no matter how much you love the calm feeling after an hour and a half of breathing, stretching, and focusing -- it's tough to squeeze in a yoga class as frequently as you'd like.
But it is possible to incorporate more balance in your life, even when you don't have time to dedicate to a full yoga class. My goal is to set aside 5 to 10 minutes to stretch and breathe during my day -- whether that means waking up a few minutes earlier, carving out time while dinner's in the oven, or heading to the mat before bed. So I've put together a list of simple do-at-home yoga poses that are great for relaxing your tired body and mind.
Yoga newbies can also give these poses a go. Just focus inward on your breath or play some relaxing music, and you'll be ready to de-stress and de-toxify from all that crazy stuff going on in your life.
