I swapped intense exercise for this morning routine from the Internet's favourite yoga instructor and I felt less stressed immediately

A woman performs a yoga Cobra pose at home on a mat. She is lying on her front, with her legs long, torso upright, and arms straight pushing her chest upward.

I've been a morning workout person for a long time. You’ll often find me deadlifting my bodyweight or doing sprints on the rowing machine before 8am.

I like the feeling of achievement this brings along with the rush of endorphins—but recently, I’ve noticed that my stress and exhaustion levels are higher than normal after this morning blast.
