I tried this 5-minute 'morning yoga' workout to build mental stamina and flexibility — here's what happened

I regularly attend hot yoga classes, but on the days I struggle to get to an in-person class, I turn to good old YouTube instead for a short but efficient stretch and flow routine.

This particular routine was curated by Yoga With Bird, who drops accessible, beginner-friendly yoga routines to her YouTube channel. If you enjoy a more advanced practice and already know how to modify, the five-minute routine is scalable to your ability, so I recommend giving it a try regardless of your practice. I added a little flair myself as I flowed through it.
