5 Yoga Morning Stretches To Jump-Start Your Day

Jump-start your day without going for a run or hitting the gym; all you need is a little morning stretching.

Katie Brauer, the director of yoga and teacher trainings at Yoga Six, has five stretches that you can do in the comfort of your own bedroom before you decide to hit the snooze button or after your morning shower. These moves will stretch out your stiff muscles to counteract periods of inactivity the day before.
