9 Yoga Classes To Stream On YouTube For An Energy Boost

This video from the Internet-beloved Yoga With Adriene channel is designed to help you cultivate strength and stamina so you can “fulfill your destiny.” Or, you know, just make it through the work day.

You’ll start by grounding yourself with a child’s pose before moving on to downward dogs, mountain poses, and lunges. Yoga teacher Adriene Mishler also encourages you to focus on your breath the whole time so that you feel refreshed and reenergized once the 17 minutes are up.

Here’s a quick flow from yoga teacher Erica Rascon that’s packed with heart-opening stretches to boost your energy. Rascon notes that this routine could be a good way to start your morning, or serves as a great go-to whenever you hit a mid-day slump. Pop it on whenever you’re falling asleep at your desk to move through invigorating postures like warrior I, side bends, and forward folds.

This 15-minute power flow from SaraBethYoga starts with a relaxing child’s pose as yoga teacher SaraBeth encourages you to be present on the mat. (Remember, getting rid of stress really does help you feel more energized.) From there, you’ll do poses like downward-facing dog, chair pose, and warrior 2 set to upbeat music.

If you’re feeling sleepy in the morning, try this 10-minute flow from Yoga With Bird to help you feel peppy for the day ahead. You’ll do moves that wake up your body and your mind, Bird says, like standing torso twists, high planks, cat-cows, and a deep gate pose variation that’s sure to knock out any lingering a.m. grogginess.

For a longer routine, roll out your mat and try this 20-minute flow for increased energy from Satvic Movement. The mix of full-body strengthening stretches — like goddess pose and side plank — as well as a round of heart-pumping jumping jacks will help set give you the boost you need.

In this video, yoga teacher Jessica Richburg guides you through a 30-minute yoga flow designed to boost your mood and increase your energy. It includes a lot of basic moves as well as grounding stretches and fun, dynamic poses that test your balance. By the time the half-hour is up, you’ll be more awake, refreshed, and ready to tackle your to-do list.

You don’t need any gear to do this video from Yoga with Kassandra — just your tired self and a yoga mat. Instructor Kassandra Reinhardt says this routine is perfect for the morning to relieve aches and pains from sleep, but you can do it any time you need to reset. You’ll do pigeon pose, ab twists, downward dog, a wide-legged forward fold, and a child’s pose — all in 10 minutes.

This “spicy” vinyasa flow from Tana Yoga is perfect if you’re an intermediate or advanced yogi. It includes standing poses, twists, some balancing postures, and a dose of fiery core work before it ends with a cozy savasana. Tana describes this routine as a “fluid, flowy dance.” Here’s hoping it hits the spot.

This flow from Mishler is meant to help you “feel your best,” which is precisely what you need whenever energy fades. You’ll begin the workout in a seated position on your mat with eyes closed before taking a few deep breaths and setting an intention for the movement ahead.

At the end, Mishler recommends giving your feet a little “wake-up call” by drumming them on the floor. From there, finish with two more deep breaths, and you’ll be off to the races.
