1. Start Slow

It's essential to start slow and gradually increase your practice's intensity, giving your body time to adapt and build strength and flexibility. Begin with gentle yoga poses, focusing on deep breathing, stretching, and relaxation.       

       2. Focus on Core Work
​Core strength is essential for overall health and vitality, and it's especially important during the spring season. Your core muscles help to support your spine, improve your posture, and stabilize your body during movement. Focus on yoga poses that target your core muscles, such as plank, boat pose, and side plank.

       3. Incorporate Dynamic Movement
Spring is a time of movement and growth, and your yoga practice should reflect that. Incorporate dynamic movement into your practice, such as sun salutations, which help to build heat, strength, and flexibility. Other dynamic movements to consider include flow yoga, power yoga, and vinyasa yoga.

      4. Emphasize Breathwork
Breathwork is a crucial component of yoga, and it's especially important during the spring season. Deep breathing helps to oxygenate your blood, calm your mind, and energize your body. Incorporate breathwork into your practice, such as Lion's breath, or simply focus on deep belly breathing.

     5. Rest and Recover
It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of spring and overdo it with your yoga practice. However, it's essential to balance movement with rest and recovery. Allow time for restorative yoga, such as savasana, and incorporate gentle stretches to help release tension and promote relaxation.
