Beginner morning Yoga asanas
We all wake up in the morning to start the new day. Some fitness-conscious individuals wake up early to attend a morning walk, visit the gym, or practice Yoga at school or a studio. Typically, people opt for a combination of an hour-long walk, exercise, muscle building & weight training at the gym, along with various Yoga poses in a Yoga studio. However, many people lack the time to maintain their fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Such people can give only 10 to 15 minutes for such a daily fitness regime.

Keep your arms straight and head relaxed. Distance your shoulders from your ears with bent knees.

The Low Lunge pose is one of the best Yoga poses for beginners. Begin with a downward dog pose. Turn your right knee in line with your nose and place your right foot in the middle of your hands. Place your fingers on the block, and then position your hands on either side of the front foot. Your neck should be stretched and in one line with your spine. Breathe at least.
Perform the pose three times, and then repeat it on the left side.
5. Triangle Pose
