Yoga in the morning is amazing! An energizing morning yoga practice can work as a natural stimulant to set you up for a productive day. If you feel lethargic all day long, if you feel down and dull though you wake up early in the morning, it is due to the loads and loads of work that we have to do every day. We don’t find time to keep fit. Yoga is the best means to keep your body fit and your mind energetic and relaxed.
Here are 10 Yoga Poses for Beginners at Home

Phalakasana - Plank Pose
