Joint warm-up exercises

A warm-up prepares your joints and spine for the asanas: neck, shoulder, wrist and hip circles, Cat-Cow and short breath-led flows. Most of these exercises are beginner level, and they work well on their own too, when you need to loosen up at your desk or after waking.

In the app's sequences, a warm-up opens almost every practice. Ready-made breath-led flows built from these moves are in the yoga warm-ups section.
