Get movin’
If you have not yet found your own favourite YouTube channel for your morning exercise, we have a few recommendations for you:
Yoga/Mobility
- Julia Reppel’s 15-minute morning mobility: If you’re not so much of a yoga person, consider mobility exercises. They are not exhausting but I feel so much better every time I do them. Julia Reppel has some high-quality content for this.
- Morning Yoga with Mady Morrison: Mady Morrison is YouTube’s most successful German-speaking yoga teacher. She has a large portfolio of high-quality videos suitable for a morning routine.
We suggest you pick one or two videos you like and save/download them, so you can easily find them in the morning, without having to choose every time from the countless possibilities.
You can also use an app for your exercises: We liked “Yoga | Down Dog” most – available for Android and iOS.
Breathwork
- Wim Hof Breathing for Beginners (~10min): I just love this! Before doing breathing exercises I would never have believed the tremendous impact it can have on your mind and body. Also very suitable to get a boost of energy without caffeine.
- Quick Energy Breathing (~5min): My go-to video for my morning breathing session on the balcony. It makes me feel very present and gets rid of any remaining drowsiness.
