I start my day with this simple reclined yoga pose, and here’s why I think you should too

Woman sits cross-legged on a bed spead wearing a white T-shirt that reads NAMAST’AY IN BED.

I was introduced to the concept of bed yoga by Sophia Drozd, owner and host of the Yoga for Pain app. I reviewed the app earlier this year and several of the classes are done from bed so you still have the option to move mindfully on days when chronic pain or low energy levels make it hard to get up.

Sometimes, though, I don’t want to look at my phone to follow a class in the morning, but I still want to feel the benefits of mindfulness and gentle stretching first thing. So I started focusing on just one pose at a time to find what works best for me.
