Morning yoga
Inhale, exhale, find your flow, Move with grace, feel your glow. Yoga postures, ancient and wise, Guide us towards a peaceful sunrise.
Start with Cat Cow, on all fours, Arch your back, then round once more. Stretch your spine, feel it align, Breathe and move, you'll feel just fine.
Downward Dog, a classic pose, Strong and stable, from head to toes. Stretch your hamstrings, lengthen your spine, Find your calm, let your worries unwind.
Cobra, rise up, and feel the burn, Open your chest, and you will learn, To trust yourself, and find your strength, With each breath, you'll go the length.
Peaceful Warrior, stand tall and strong, Find your balance, hold it long. Reach up high, with your heart open wide, Let your worries and fears subside.
Happy Baby, on your back, Gently rock, and feel the slack, In your hips, and in your mind, Relax and unwind, and leave worries behind.
Mountain, stand strong, feet rooted to earth, With each breath, feel your sense of worth, Tall and proud, like a tree, Let your strength and peace be free.
Yoga postures, diverse and true, Guide us on a path that's new, Find your balance, your strength, your peace, With each breath, let your worries cease.

Very well written. I’m severely disabled and severely visually impaired. I wanted to try yoga when I was at university and went to a class but the stretches they did weren’t tailored to me. Yoga has always been suggested by my doctors. Do you know of any stretches suitable for wheelchair users? I am unable to stand or walk.

Thank you! 😊 You may find The Palouse Mindfulness approach to yoga helpful. Dr.Lynn Rossi’s video’s are very good and have a chair alternative being shown aswell as mat exercises. There’s a link on this page with an audio version too. https://palousemindfulness.com/meditations/yoga1.html another thing that’s interesting is that even visualising these postures can have a powerful effect.

I love this. I’ve been practicing yoga since I was 9-years-old, in the 1970s! I stumbled upon a program Yoga for Health, with Richard Hittleman (now deceased, RIP) and was hooked ever since.
