Studies show that some yoga poses reduce fatigue and adjust the hormone cortisol—too little of which can zap your energy. "This sequence engages your core and energizes your system from the inside out," says Women's Health yoga expert Tara Stiles. The poses also require balance, which sharpens your focus, as well as lots of deep breaths, which increase your oxygen intake to help you feel more alert.
Do each of these moves in order, holding the poses for 10 deep breaths. Repeat the sequence on the other side, and continue alternating until you've done the routine three times on each side.

Great workout, better than a rockstar energy drink.
Thanks!
great video, definitely will have to try it..thank you.
I found the June 2010 issue at check-out at my grocery store yesterday, and picked it up specifically for this article. I have real trouble getting and maintaining my energy. I tried the poses this morning, and it's made a huge difference in how I started my day. Thank you so much. I'm going to incorporate this into my daily routine.
I also blogged about the article and my experience with it here: http://alwayssick.com/2010/06/24/the-morning-calm-boosting-mood-energy/
Try this for yoga for beginners.

Thanks for this articles I love Yoga... And am always up for a quick pick-me-up moment(s).
I love the idea of this, but I am a beginner. I couldn't do two of these poses if my life depended on it.
i would love to see yoga for beginners that prgresses as the weeks pass...that would be awsome.
These look great! I can do these while I watch tv.
