I tried this short yoga routine and it improved my mood and released muscle tension

I lift weights and go to the gym on a regular basis, as that's the best way for me to build muscle. However, I've found that slow, gentle movement is more beneficial for my mental health. 

Because of this, I try to do yoga once or twice a week. I go to some in-person classes, but I often opt for a routine that I've found online.
