Balance | 5-Minute Yoga | Quick & Effective Standing Flow | Beginner Friendly

Today’s 5-Minute Movement is all about balance. No mat or props needed—just you, your breath, and a few moments to steady yourself. (If your legs are feeling extra tight, having a chair or blocks nearby might help when we fold.) We’ll start with simple calf raises to wake up the ankles, then move into Tree Poses and some side-body stretches to challenge our stability. And because balance is more than just standing on one foot, we’ll finish with gentle twists and mindful breathwork to bring everything together. Whether you wobble or stand tall, this is about showing up for yourself and orientating toward steadiness—both on and off the mat. Take a deep breath in, exhale any tension, and let’s move. ✨ If you enjoy these quick movement breaks, don’t forget to like & subscribe—it really helps support the channel! 💛& 🔔 Hit the bell so you don’t miss new uploads. https://www.youtube.com/paradigmyoga?...

With the simple intention of moving the spine in all of it's natural ranges (extension/flexion/axial/lateral); it's amazing what a little breath and movement can do to help you feel great! ⭐Add the '5 Minute Movement' playlist to your favorites    • 5 Minute Movements. Yoga for while yo...   ******************** If you're inspired to get your mat out: 30 Minute Gentle Morning Yoga ►    • Gentle Morning Yoga Stretch | 30 Minu...   10 Minute Leg Stretch ►    • 10 Minute Daily Yoga: Leg Stretch | B...   Evening Stretch ►    • Gentle Yoga; Evening Stretch |  Yoga ...   Yoga for Tight Low Back & Hips ►    • Yoga for Tight Low Back & Hips | 30 m...   ******************** Connect with Paradigm Yoga: Newsletter: https://stats.sender.net/forms/eENqka...
