This is the perfect beginner routine, and perfect for getting back with it after falling off for a while. No intimidation, just a gentle morning strengthener.
I've probably done this video about a thousand times by now. I constantly come back to it, it's just such a wonderful morning routine when you only have a little time but need a little something to start your day. Defnitely my most watched yoga video! Thank you!!
Have used this on and off for the past 2/3 years. Makes a huge difference to my day and is great for beginners. I'm unsteady on my feet and this is gentle and slow enough to accommodate it X
This Video is helping me to get back at it. Was a Yoga enthusiast for a long time then suddenly stopped for silly reasons. So happy to have found you to help me get re-focused! Namaste
Brett, my wife Virginia and I have been doing this routine every morning since COVID began. We both feel so much better. She used to have shoulder pain all the time. Now it’s gone. Coincidence? I am thinking not. Thanks for the great video.
omg! I'm plus size, so I've always been apprehensive about yoga but I decided to give this a try this morning... I feel fantastic! This is an excellent video! Thank you so much!
I decided to do a morning yoga every day, and this 15 minutes video is just perfect for the time I have. I feel so refreshing and energetic. This is a wonderful start for my year 2017.
It's okay that you folks have yet to awaken, but you should know the spiritual component really is essential to yoga and its history. Enjoy your day :)
Hello friend. I sense frustration in your words. I believe ultimately, everything is pointless. Making that comment did not make me feel better, I already felt great, thanks to this video. It is true what you say, that some folks merely practice yoga for the positive physiological and mental effects it produces. I was only pointing out that the spiritual component of yoga is a true pillar of yoga itself, at least historically... I do see how my wording may have conveyed a sense of superiority, that was not intended... God bless to you as well.
I wake up late and sit on my ass all day, yet today I tried yoga and this video has helped me, I am 21 and normally feel like I'm 80 but I feel amazing. Thank you!! I mean I can't stretch anywhere near as much as you but it still works
I have a sitting job and I have always thought my body will work perfect all my life no matter what I do. But it doesn't. So I start today. Change my lifestyle. This yoga sequence is my starting point. Thank you!
Short enough to keep me yet still make a significant difference in my day. I've had a 90% decrease in hip pain by doing this 3-4x a week. I noticed improvement in a week and now it's been almost 2 months with no more limping. No more cortisone shots for me! Sent my friends this link. Thanks, Brett!

She has so much non-instructive language. She really should just nos SAY anything at all! Why does she say, "good!" What is good? Her instructions are trite, not useful, and the way she has the annoying "yoga voice" that says D O W N ward facing dog in a sing songy way makes me cringe. Why is this type of teaching so popular??
Hi Rebecca. I hope you've continued with your practice and your hips are still doing well! I suffer from one loose hip joint, soft tissue problem so I do relate. I've been rescued from the ongoing pain/discomfort/unease in that joint... which transfers to my spine, my shoulder, down to my knee, my ankle... through my daily yoga practice and this one session happens to work beautifully for me as well. Namaste 🙂🙏
My college yoga instructor in Payson, AZ guided her students your way, and I am so happy she did,! Not only can I introduce my husband to yoga in a private setting, but I can practice with you when not at school or when I am petsitting at someone's house. This morning wake up was wonderful and so was the ab practice! Thank you so much.
Thanks for putting together some very practical, real life yoga. (i.e.. Yoga for lower back pain). I've been trying to get my husband into yoga for years. He occasionally injures himself during vigorous exercise and wasn't willing to give yoga a chance. Pulling out the laptop and following along with you I have turned him into a yoga fan! Now it's him that will wake up and say "want to do a yoga this morning?"

I have always wanted to start doing yoga, but never have for lack of a starting point. I appreciate this video, and plan to incorporate it into a morning routine
I always wanted to start a morning yoga routine but could never find one that worked for me. I am a true beginner and most of the stuff out there that says it's beginner is definitely not, and way too long. I thank you for actually putting together a short routine that truly works for beginners. I do this first thing every morning and am loving it and feeling great.
As an aspiring massage therapist, I do this every clinic shift I have for my school (where I usually give three back to back hour massages), along with as many mornings as I can during the week. I have seen huge improvement in my posture throughout the day and energy level. After the massages I feel amazing! My joints don't hurt, my body was already pre-warmed and prepared for the troubles of the day!
6 weeks of physical therapy did not resolve the pain in my left hip but one day of this morning stretch left me feeling great all day, so i am back again for the forseable future. Thank you.

I am so glad I found this video! I completely shut down emotionally, spiritually, and physically last week due to depression, anxiety, and stress I've accumulated over my first semester and a half of college. I got this idea to try yoga and meditation in the morning to start my day off in a balanced manner, your video popped up and i have now made it a part of my daily life, I've been doing this routine for 6 days and I have been so much happier! My roommate noticed the difference in my mood and decided to try it with me, she has been so much happier too!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you soooo much for this! I feel great and relaxed now! I used to do yoga classes all the time, but I stopped 2 years ago and never got back to it! This will definitely be incorporated into my morning routine- I think it helps my stress and anxiety a lot! Much more than any medicine did! 💖

Not sure if I’ve left a comment on this one or not but this is my second time doing this sequence. It’s one of my favorite morning yoga videos. It feels so good and hits all the right spots. Love this one!
For the last few years, I was using the DDP Yoga Wake Up video to start my day. But I found I wasn't getting that same rejuvenated feeling from it anymore. So I did a search for morning yoga and found this video. It's fantastic. Thank you very much for it. It'll now be part of my morning routine.
Thank you for your great descriptions of the stretches. Very often with UA-cam videos, I find myself looking up out of my stretch because I don't understand what the instructor is trying to get me to do. Your instruction was very thorough so I was able to focus of myself. Awesome!
I really enjoyed this video! Many other beginner yoga videos have too loud music so you can't really hear the intructions, therefore an unnecessary big amout of concentration goes to just trying to keep up with the intructor. I did not have the problem now, and I could fully concentrate on my body and breathing. Thank you so much!
I have never understood the "need" for music with yoga. I like to hear my breath and the instructor's breathing and instructions. It's my time to be present with my body, and the music is distracting and puts me off my own rhythm.

Ah, I 💗 this morning flow routine so much! I’m addicted to yoga now! I have to have two things in the morning! A nice hot delicious cup of coffee ☕️ & my yoga 🧘♀️ time! Then water of course. 😊 Good, happy morning everyone! 🌞
BrettLarkinYoga Absolutely! Thank you for sharing your refreshing wake up routine with us! I’ve been referring a lot of my massage clients to your channel to encourage them to stretch, & relax at the same time! I get so many that tell me, “I just don’t have time!”. So I’ve been telling them to just commit to 5-15 min in the morning, & again before bedtime, if that’s all they can do. That little bit alone can make a huge difference to someone suffering from pain. I work in a Chiropratic office, so most of my clients come to me in pain that effects daily living, & limits their range of motion. Massage can do wonders, but stretching is just as, if not more, important! I certainly don’t have time to teach my clients all these wonderful stretches, so that’s where your important role comes in! Unbeknownst to you, you have been helping me help my clients! You have no idea just how much I, & my clients appreciate you! Namaste 🙏
For 2 yrs now I've been saying I want to get into a regular yoga practice. I've tried a few times at my gyms and could never fully get into it or relax or maintain the schedule. Last week at my running club we had a "stretching for runners" clinic with a certified Pilates/yoga instructor and she was awesome. She made us promise to get in 15 mins a day for 10 days to see a difference. I went searching for 15 minute yoga on UA-cam and this is the first video I came upon. I watched it yesterday and noticed just about every stretch (one missing) that we did in the clinic. I set my alarm for 6:10am this morning... I am finished. I feel refreshed and I believe this is truly the start of something great and I can do it at home on my own time. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I look forward to trying other videos once I get some consistency.
Valencia Michelle YEAY! So glad you are enjoying your practice :) Definitely try some more of my beginner classes soon on my beginner yoga playlist!!! bit.ly/BegYoga
At last a great yoga video for beginners! So many videos claim to be for beginners but then start doing some crazy moves lol this didn't make me want to quit and was fast enough that my daughter left me alone to finish it lol
lauramac90 Haha awesome. People have been loving this class so I'm releasing more videos like it as a series. Sign up here to make sure to get notified bit.ly/begyoga - thanks for practicing with me!!! :)
Great for coming "off the couch" to Yoga. It is concise and approachable without the woo woo. Feels great, a real sense of well being when I'm done, thanks.
This one took me in such a smooth transition from inner anxiety and stiffness into to calm blissful happiness. So empowering and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, ❤️ Brett
Wow, I felt so much tension leave my lower back and hip area :) Gonna try to do this every morning! Thank you, the yoga sequence is easy to flow into so early in the morning.
Tried lots of beginners yoga ... But yours was really great , clear explanation and not to fast. Giving me time to feel each pose with purpose. Thank you
oh man I needed that. woke up so stiff in my back and shoulders really helped work some of it out. 21 and I feel tight as wire sometimes. I'll for sure be subscribing thank you!
+Victoria Putzbach thanks so much!! If you're looking for more beginner videos like one check out this playlist bit.ly/BegYoga It has similar sequences :) xoxo
I tried two other "beginning" yoga sequences before this and couldn't actually finish either because they were for people who are already really in shape. Yours was great - easy to follow and easy enough to do as a beginner while still being challenging enough. Thanks!
So this is a perfect way to start the day...and I CAN work it into my morning routine. Just exploring yoga in my early 50s. It's about time! Thanks for a great morning!
I really look forward to this particular workout for my morning workout. Yesterday I started my boxing routine and in the morning, I fiended for this video. It really stretches the top half of my body along with the bottom half, but i needed that top half of the body stretch. After rope dips and punching combinations, this is a good and comfortable way to get some relief. The working of the core helps also.
Venetria Benitez so glad you're liking it! lots more videos on channel playlists :) so cool that you're boxing! I've always wanted to try that but too scared LOL
This video has helped me improve flexibility and reduced hip pain. I sit at a desk long days and commute. This is a short routine to start the day and focus on feeling healthy and prepared for whatever comes my way. Although I’ve practiced yoga for a long time, I still like the reminders on form and function which Brett does in a conversational way that isn’t preachy and doesn’t distract from the flow of the routine.
I loved this morning routine, thank you! I'm very new to yoga, and this was very doable! This shall be my morning routine...Awesome! Thank you for sharing with us.
Brett please upload more morning routines as yours is both laudable and workable! With an amazing view one tends to enjoy this routine! Way better than others
Thank you! If you're new to yoga, check out my free newbie yoga guide :) www.brettlarkin.com/newbie Lots more classes like this one in there with links to more free UA-cam videos like this one xx
😊 I decided to start yoga last week. I have done this every day for the last week , it is the perfect start. I am shocked at how stiff I am in my back. Planning to make this the start of my yoga life!
I really love your sequences, they are still doable enough for me. so not too hard, but hard enough. Great for a starter not to get demotivated (-:. Thank you!
I've been doing this video every morning for the past week as a new addition to my morning ritual Brett, and I love it. I'm going to keep my eyes out for other 15 minute segments you have I can do in the morning. I haven't done yoga regularly in years so this has been perfect for me to pay attention to my alignment & breathing and get back into the swing of it. [For those interested in getting a morning ritual going this is mine. Adding this to my life has helped me love waking up earlier to get to do this] The morning ritual goes like this: - Wake up & read non-fiction in bed for 10 mins - Glass of water w fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, & pink himalayan salt - 15 Minutes of Yoga (currently with this video!) - 2 minute sprint run to get heart rate up - Cold Shower (as cold as it gets - at first this is not fun, but it becomes amazing in due time) - 20 Minute Meditation (sometimes guided, sometimes silent) - Make tea and get day going!
+Lauren Rains I LOVE your morning ritual. Similar to mine in many ways. Love love love! Thank you for sharing.

Love this beginner quick sequence. I have a special friend who is recovering from surgery and she wants to start practicing yoga. I am coming back to these quick sequences so I can tell her which ones to try when she heals enough to practice. So much Love to you for having these available. - Namaste!
I suffer from debilitating depression and anxiety. There are many days I feel like I can't even leave my house. I'm trying to get some form of movement in and this seems like it could be really helpful! It sure makes me feel out of shape though haha.
Have you continued this series? I bet if you have, you already feel its so much easier after a month! If not, try again and do it consistently for 2 weeks and you will stop feeling out of shape and in stead will feel empowered
Keep going! Just love your body where it's at. That's what yoga is about. If you get tired or can't do the pose, just go to child's pose and rejon when you can.
Thanks Brett for helping start my day with energy and stretched out. This is my first yoga class with you and thanks to my wife Sandra McRostie that took a fabulous class with you I find myself embracing this wonderful world of yoga. See you tomorrow. Saludos from Chile. John McRostie
WOW.. that was intense for me being out of condition like I am.. I'm going to make this my daily routine for a week then build on to it after.. I feel awesome !
+ricebubble736 do it!!!! let me know ow it goes! if you want to mix it up, all my beginner classes are on this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLPJTnhnYa-pOT46n-0bLtZHjpR23URZXW.html
+BrettLarkinYoga I have been doing this sequence for 5 days. Today my 2 (almost 3) year old got my Yoga mat out and told me she would fix it up for me and get my (your) video ready, I did the Yoga and after finishing found her at the table where I'd been doing craft 15 mins earlier lol
This was a wonderful way to start a morning of a very stressful week for me (Community theater play, we start adding in the costumes, lights and sound before we open on Friday night!) Thank you so much, Brett! I will continue to do your other videos!
Break a leg, Allison! Or if your production is finished, hope it went well! I've been a professional performer for 10 years, and full understand the stress of that "hell week." It's when many of us let our routines go, and as the days get very busy we rest too little, make poor eating choices, etc just to get by. When I committed to a regular routine of self-care (stretching/yoga, meditation, rest, good food/drink for fuel) and made sure to maintain that routine throughout a rehearsal process and through performance runs up to 10 weeks, it made all the difference. I felt better, performed better, and recovered faster to do it again the next day or week. Glad you're here in this community and glad you're sharing your talents with your own on stage!! : )
Just discovered this awesome way to begin my mornings, no matter what the day is going to bring. As always, your guidance is so easy to follow. Thank you, Brett! xo
I was looking for something simple and easy in the morning, because I am a beginner. I have have watched several videos and this is the best I have found so far. I think I will continue with this simple morning yoga.
+Fran McKenzie Yeay! Check out my Beginner Yoga Playlist of free classes on UA-cam bit.ly/BegYoga and my Beginner Yoga Jumpstart course bit.ly/YogaJUMP
I love, love, LOVE your yoga videos - especially these short ones. I'm a SAHM wit two toddlers, so it's hard for me to get out of the house for a class. These are just the right amount of time that my kids can keep themselves entertained! Thank you again!
I have been having a lot of lower back discomfort lately due to a job where I am standing for hours and this sequence, along with the bedtime sequence have helped so much! Thank you!
I have been practicing yoga for 6 months and decided to run through your beginners yoga guide. You explain the poses so thoroughly that I have noticed more alignment and flexibility. Thanks.
Wonderful! I wasn't on my mat yesterday and I woke up this morning feeling kind of blah, so this was an awesome way to start my day! I am feeling better, thank you Brett :-)

This is the perfect beginner routine, and perfect for getting back with it after falling off for a while. No intimidation, just a gentle morning strengthener.
Heard many good recommendations about Roch Dungca-Schreiber by some YT channels, Seminars and other platforms.
Out of any yoga routine I've done, after all these years, I always come back to this one. There's something seriously magical about it. thank you.
I totally agree. ❤
I've probably done this video about a thousand times by now. I constantly come back to it, it's just such a wonderful morning routine when you only have a little time but need a little something to start your day. Defnitely my most watched yoga video! Thank you!!

You are SO not alone. Have you seen Jessamyn Stanley aka "fat femme"? She is an inspiration.
I do this EVERY day. Made a huge difference in my life! Really helps depression and anxiety.
Amazing!
Yoger is funky and fun and I love it the boys down at the office think I'm crazy though but I feel great haha
I decided to do a morning yoga every day, and this 15 minutes video is just perfect for the time I have. I feel so refreshing and energetic. This is a wonderful start for my year 2017.
Thank you!! Join us for our January Yoga Sculpt challenge!! Brettlarkin.com/sculpt
same here!
I love your comment
I agree.
yes
This type of normal yoga fits very well and natural into my Qi Gongclasses. Well done Brett.
Thank you for practicing with me!!
I like this because it's straightforward and accessible, and doesn't have all that spiritual chatter that a lot of instructors engage in.
KestrelHarper Agree. That's what I want from my Yoga! This was excellent.
lol exactly!
It's okay that you folks have yet to awaken, but you should know the spiritual component really is essential to yoga and its history. Enjoy your day :)
Dylan Faucett are you done... that was completely pointless. Do you feel better... ? who said we going "yoga" free your mind.... God Bless
Hello friend. I sense frustration in your words. I believe ultimately, everything is pointless. Making that comment did not make me feel better, I already felt great, thanks to this video.

Simple, but effective. I find doing this every day has a profound effect.
Yay, so glad you love it!
I wake up late and sit on my ass all day, yet today I tried yoga and this video has helped me, I am 21 and normally feel like I'm 80 but I feel amazing. Thank you!! I mean I can't stretch anywhere near as much as you but it still works
yeah same. maybe oneday it will be easier...
You will stretch more readily over time as you allow your body to move in ways that counteract all that sitting. I promise!
I have a sitting job and I have always thought my body will work perfect all my life no matter what I do. But it doesn't. So I start today. Change my lifestyle. This yoga sequence is my starting point. Thank you!
So honored you chose to begin this journey with me 💖 Thank you for being here!

Isn't it amazing how much yoga and meditation and exercise can calm and re-awaken us in ways that meds just can't reach? Namaste.
What a great way to wake up! I've been doing this for 3 days and already notice a difference every AM.
+Gabriel Cooper so glad!!! keep it up! Lots more beginner classes on this playlist bit.ly/BegYoga
Awesome. Thanks!
I'm a fan. For someone who tends to sit at a desk on the computer a good part of the day, this workout is a godsend. Thank you, Brett!
+Viktoria Vidali YAY! Lots more classes like this in my Beginner Playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLPJTnhnYa-pOT46n-0bLtZHjpR23URZXW.html and morning classes playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLPJTnhnYa-pP2pKktWbcqYl_UECec6nlE.html xoxo
Thank you! Today is my first day trying to start doing yoga :)
Not sure if I’ve left a comment on this one or not but this is my second time doing this sequence. It’s one of my favorite morning yoga videos. It feels so good and hits all the right spots. Love this one!
Thank you so much for practicing with me!!
For the last few years, I was using the DDP Yoga Wake Up video to start my day. But I found I wasn't getting that same rejuvenated feeling from it anymore. So I did a search for morning yoga and found this video. It's fantastic. Thank you very much for it. It'll now be part of my morning routine.
***** yeay! thanks so much for the comment. See you on the mat - lots more beginner classes on my beginner's playlist bit.ly/BegYoga
Thank you for your great descriptions of the stretches. Very often with UA-cam videos, I find myself looking up out of my stretch because I don't understand what the instructor is trying to get me to do. Your instruction was very thorough so I was able to focus of myself. Awesome!
I really enjoyed this video! Many other beginner yoga videos have too loud music so you can't really hear the intructions, therefore an unnecessary big amout of concentration goes to just trying to keep up with the intructor. I did not have the problem now, and I could fully concentrate on my body and breathing. Thank you so much!
I have never understood the "need" for music with yoga. I like to hear my breath and the instructor's breathing and instructions. It's my time to be present with my body, and the music is distracting and puts me off my own rhythm.
I love Brett Larkin. She’s amazing to do morning yoga with.
xoxoxo 💖
This is my favorite morning sequence. It really makes me feel good!
+Kristin Hafner I'm so glad! Thanks for the comment.

Ah, I 💗 this morning flow routine so much! I’m addicted to yoga now! I have to have two things in the morning! A nice hot delicious cup of coffee ☕️ & my yoga 🧘♀️ time! Then water of course. 😊
Good, happy morning everyone! 🌞
Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏
BrettLarkinYoga
Absolutely! Thank you for sharing your refreshing wake up routine with us!
I’ve been referring a lot of my massage clients to your channel to encourage them to stretch, & relax at the same time! I get so many that tell me, “I just don’t have time!”. So I’ve been telling them to just commit to 5-15 min in the morning, & again before bedtime, if that’s all they can do. That little bit alone can make a huge difference to someone suffering from pain. I work in a Chiropratic office, so most of my clients come to me in pain that effects daily living, & limits their range of motion. Massage can do wonders, but stretching is just as, if not more, important! I certainly don’t have time to teach my clients all these wonderful stretches, so that’s where your important role comes in! Unbeknownst to you, you have been helping me help my clients! You have no idea just how much I, & my clients appreciate you!
Namaste 🙏
This is perfect for starting your day. You can tell Brett is a great instructor!
Thanks so much for this kind comment Jamie!!!
For 2 yrs now I've been saying I want to get into a regular yoga practice. I've tried a few times at my gyms and could never fully get into it or relax or maintain the schedule. Last week at my running club we had a "stretching for runners" clinic with a certified Pilates/yoga instructor and she was awesome. She made us promise to get in 15 mins a day for 10 days to see a difference. I went searching for 15 minute yoga on UA-cam and this is the first video I came upon. I watched it yesterday and noticed just about every stretch (one missing) that we did in the clinic. I set my alarm for 6:10am this morning... I am finished. I feel refreshed and I believe this is truly the start of something great and I can do it at home on my own time. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I look forward to trying other videos once I get some consistency.
Valencia Michelle YEAY! So glad you are enjoying your practice :) Definitely try some more of my beginner classes soon on my beginner yoga playlist!!! bit.ly/BegYoga
This is the morning yoga routine I was looking for! Thank you.
This routine has been a savior during this pandemic 💪
Thank you so much for being here!
Terrific practice Brett! Sometimes slow and easy is the BEST way to cultivate some energy for the day. Awesome - thanks! :)
Peace & Namaste :)
At last a great yoga video for beginners! So many videos claim to be for beginners but then start doing some crazy moves lol this didn't make me want to quit and was fast enough that my daughter left me alone to finish it lol
lauramac90 Haha awesome. People have been loving this class so I'm releasing more videos like it as a series. Sign up here to make sure to get notified bit.ly/begyoga - thanks for practicing with me!!! :)
Love this "morning cup of coffee". started doing this to reduce stress and headache pain, and voila! THank you Brett Larkin. Keeping myself healthy.
Great for coming "off the couch" to Yoga. It is concise and approachable without the woo woo. Feels great, a real sense of well being when I'm done, thanks.
So glad you enjoyed, thank you for practicing with me!
This one took me in such a smooth transition from inner anxiety and stiffness into to calm blissful happiness. So empowering and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, ❤️ Brett
Yay, I'm so glad you loved this class! Practice with me again soon💖💖💖
BrettLarkinYoga Every morning! 😁 It feels so good to have the tools to feel how I want to feel!
Wow, I felt so much tension leave my lower back and hip area :) Gonna try to do this every morning! Thank you, the yoga sequence is easy to flow into so early in the morning.
... same for me, absolutely love this one!
Wow I felt really exhausted! But I'll do this every morning to feel and see progress! Thanks
Glad I found this short and sweet yoga sequence again! No excuse to not get on the mat! Thanks again!🙏🏼❤️😊
Happy to see you!!
Tried lots of beginners yoga ... But yours was really great , clear explanation and not to fast. Giving me time to feel each pose with purpose. Thank you
I'm amazed at how quickly I feel good each morning from a short routine! been doing it a week and already have great energy in the morning.
oh man I needed that. woke up so stiff in my back and shoulders really helped work some of it out. 21 and I feel tight as wire sometimes. I'll for sure be subscribing thank you!
+Victoria Putzbach thanks so much!! If you're looking for more beginner videos like one check out this playlist bit.ly/BegYoga It has similar sequences :) xoxo
It's been about a month or so that I stopped doing yoga and THIS was the perfect routine to get back into the groove :D
Welcome back!!!
I tried two other "beginning" yoga sequences before this and couldn't actually finish either because they were for people who are already really in shape. Yours was great - easy to follow and easy enough to do as a beginner while still being challenging enough. Thanks!
Wow! I really liked that for first thing in the morning. I could totally feel a difference in my body and my mental constitution.
It is an honor to practice with you, thank you for being here! 💖💖💖
That was a refreshing sequence & easy to follow.. Thanks for sharing, Brett Larkin Yoga..!!
+Anuradha Desikan thanks so much for commenting and practicing with me! do yoga with me again soon xoxoxo
You are my savior everytime anything hurts, thank you for keeping me happy and healthy!
Awe, how sweet!! Thank you for joining me on the mat!!
loved this!!! as a beginner, some things were hard but i can't wait to see what my body will begin to do after practicing for a bit :)
Yay! Keep me posted on your progress!
So this is a perfect way to start the day...and I CAN work it into my morning routine. Just exploring yoga in my early 50s. It's about time! Thanks for a great morning!
I really look forward to this particular workout for my morning workout. Yesterday I started my boxing routine and in the morning, I fiended for this video. It really stretches the top half of my body along with the bottom half, but i needed that top half of the body stretch. After rope dips and punching combinations, this is a good and comfortable way to get some relief. The working of the core helps also.
Venetria Benitez so glad you're liking it! lots more videos on channel playlists :) so cool that you're boxing! I've always wanted to try that but too scared LOL
I am definitely checking out your playlist!!!
This video has helped me improve flexibility and reduced hip pain. I sit at a desk long days and commute. This is a short routine to start the day and focus on feeling healthy and prepared for whatever comes my way. Although I’ve practiced yoga for a long time, I still like the reminders on form and function which Brett does in a conversational way that isn’t preachy and doesn’t distract from the flow of the routine.
Thank you so much for your comment! 💖
I’ve tried many morning sequences, this is still one of my favourites!
So glad you love it!!
thank you for being so easy to follow. I've never done yoga and I feel much better after such a short session. im blown away at how much better I feel
Shriggah YEAY - isn't it amazing? I always do yoga when I'm feeling down and always feel so much better after. Keep it up!
I loved this morning routine, thank you! I'm very new to yoga, and this was very doable! This shall be my morning routine...Awesome!
Thank you for sharing with us.
Rebecca Adame yeay - you are so welcome. lots more videos for beginners on this playlist bit.ly/BegYoga :)
Brett please upload more morning routines as yours is both laudable and workable! With an amazing view one tends to enjoy this routine! Way better than others
Thank you! If you're new to yoga, check out my free newbie yoga guide :) www.brettlarkin.com/newbie Lots more classes like this one in there with links to more free UA-cam videos like this one xx
+BrettLarkinYoga sure and I was new to yoga till I religiously started following your videos. And will definitely watch and do more! Thankyou Brett!
This was perfect! Thank you. I never do yoga but this is day one of a new me! Lots of changes in my life right now Nx I can't wait to feel better
😊 I decided to start yoga last week. I have done this every day for the last week , it is the perfect start. I am shocked at how stiff I am in my back. Planning to make this the start of my yoga life!
So happy to be on this journey with you!
I really love your sequences, they are still doable enough for me. so not too hard, but hard enough. Great for a starter not to get demotivated (-:. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you are practicing with me!!
One of the most impressive thing in this video is how in the world you talked your way through this so smoothly!?
I've been doing this video every morning for the past week as a new addition to my morning ritual Brett, and I love it. I'm going to keep my eyes out for other 15 minute segments you have I can do in the morning. I haven't done yoga regularly in years so this has been perfect for me to pay attention to my alignment & breathing and get back into the swing of it.
[For those interested in getting a morning ritual going this is mine. Adding this to my life has helped me love waking up earlier to get to do this]
The morning ritual goes like this:
- Wake up & read non-fiction in bed for 10 mins
- Glass of water w fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, & pink himalayan salt
- 15 Minutes of Yoga (currently with this video!)
- 2 minute sprint run to get heart rate up
- Cold Shower (as cold as it gets - at first this is not fun, but it becomes amazing in due time)
- 20 Minute Meditation (sometimes guided, sometimes silent)
- Make tea and get day going!
+Lauren Rains I LOVE your morning ritual. Similar to mine in many ways. Love love love! Thank you for sharing.

Love this beginner quick sequence. I have a special friend who is recovering from surgery and she wants to start practicing yoga. I am coming back to these quick sequences so I can tell her which ones to try when she heals enough to practice. So much Love to you for having these available. - Namaste!
You are an amazing friend!!
I suffer from debilitating depression and anxiety. There are many days I feel like I can't even leave my house. I'm trying to get some form of movement in and this seems like it could be really helpful! It sure makes me feel out of shape though haha.
Me too.
Haha yep same here XD
Have you continued this series? I bet if you have, you already feel its so much easier after a month! If not, try again and do it consistently for 2 weeks and you will stop feeling out of shape and in stead will feel empowered
same
Keep going! Just love your body where it's at. That's what yoga is about. If you get tired or can't do the pose, just go to child's pose and rejon when you can.
So glad to have this sequence. Been coming back to it for months. This morning it was just TOO cold to do my morning walk.. so hello Bret!
Yay, so glad you love it so much!!! Thank you for practicing with me!!
Awesome ... positions explained, options given for us who aren't so flexible. Thank you!
cecille salvan you are so welcome. Thanks for the comment :)
Excellent wake up routine. Lovely tone too, not too yogi or patronizing.
Thanks excellent workout for begginers or anyone struggling with discipline..Easy to do!!!
+veronica trinidad so glad you liked it!!! xoxo practice with me again soon!
Thanks Brett for helping start my day with energy and stretched out. This is my first yoga class with you and thanks to my wife Sandra McRostie that took a fabulous class with you I find myself embracing this wonderful world of yoga. See you tomorrow. Saludos from Chile. John McRostie
Love this!! Miss seeing Sandra on our calls
WOW.. that was intense for me being out of condition like I am.. I'm going to make this my daily routine for a week then build on to it after.. I feel awesome !
+ricebubble736 do it!!!! let me know ow it goes! if you want to mix it up, all my beginner classes are on this playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLPJTnhnYa-pOT46n-0bLtZHjpR23URZXW.html
+BrettLarkinYoga I most certainly will :)
+BrettLarkinYoga I have been doing this sequence for 5 days. Today my 2 (almost 3) year old got my Yoga mat out and told me she would fix it up for me and get my (your) video ready, I did the Yoga and after finishing found her at the table where I'd been doing craft 15 mins earlier lol
You’re not just an inspiration but a guiding light
Thank you so much💖
This was a wonderful way to start a morning of a very stressful week for me (Community theater play, we start adding in the costumes, lights and sound before we open on Friday night!) Thank you so much, Brett! I will continue to do your other videos!
Awesome, thank you for practicing with me!!
Break a leg, Allison! Or if your production is finished, hope it went well! I've been a professional performer for 10 years, and full understand the stress of that "hell week." It's when many of us let our routines go, and as the days get very busy we rest too little, make poor eating choices, etc just to get by. When I committed to a regular routine of self-care (stretching/yoga, meditation, rest, good food/drink for fuel) and made sure to maintain that routine throughout a rehearsal process and through performance runs up to 10 weeks, it made all the difference. I felt better, performed better, and recovered faster to do it again the next day or week. Glad you're here in this community and glad you're sharing your talents with your own on stage!! : )
That downward dog side body stretch - I could stay in it forever. Feels absolutely amazing. :^3
Just discovered this awesome way to begin my mornings, no matter what the day is going to bring. As always, your guidance is so easy to follow. Thank you, Brett! xo
I have had such resistance to morning yoga routines. This video gave me a reminder of the deliciousness of connecting to my body. Thank you.
You're very welcome!!
Thank you!! Ready to start my day!!🙏🙏🙏👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏼👏🏼💞🙌🏾😍😍😍🐢🐢
I was looking for something simple and easy in the morning, because I am a beginner. I have have watched several videos and this is the best I have found so far. I think I will continue with this simple morning yoga.
Awesome, so glad you like this one. Thank you for practicing with me!!
Aaahhhh! Perfect way to start the day. I will certainly check out more of your videos!
+Fran McKenzie Yeay! Check out my Beginner Yoga Playlist of free classes on UA-cam bit.ly/BegYoga and my Beginner Yoga Jumpstart course bit.ly/YogaJUMP
I love, love, LOVE your yoga videos - especially these short ones. I'm a SAHM wit two toddlers, so it's hard for me to get out of the house for a class. These are just the right amount of time that my kids can keep themselves entertained! Thank you again!
this video is so great. this is the third morning i've done the routine and i'm already feeling better. thank you so much!
I think this is this the best way to start to the day. Fantastic!! Thank you for letting us share this.
Aww, you're so sweet! Thank you for being here!!
Could you please make 20-25 min morning routine!!! Thanks
I have been having a lot of lower back discomfort lately due to a job where I am standing for hours and this sequence, along with the bedtime sequence have helped so much! Thank you!
Awesome!! Be sure to check out my yoga for back pain videos. Here is one: ua-cam.com/video/BH-2oT54PjY/v-deo.html
I have been practicing yoga for 6 months and decided to run through your beginners yoga guide. You explain the poses so thoroughly that I have noticed more alignment and flexibility. Thanks.
Thank you for practicing with me!!
Perfect morning full body wake up, in my humble opinion. Namaste Brett 💙
Namaste 🙏 Thank you so much for being here!
Wonderful! I wasn't on my mat yesterday and I woke up this morning feeling kind of blah, so this was an awesome way to start my day! I am feeling better, thank you Brett :-)
