The 11 Best Yoga With Kassandra Videos For Morning Movement

If you only have five minutes (or just don’t have much energy) go for this short and sweet video. You’ll move through a quick sequence of body-opening poses, like low lunges and three-legged dogs, to stretch out your muscles — and finish having done just enough to wake yourself up.

If you have a bit more time, try this 10-minute stretch to start your morning with mindful movement. You’ll start with a few deep breaths before gliding into side twists (these feel so good in the a.m.) and other classic yoga poses — think forward folds and runner’s lunges.

As the flow continues, Reinhardt suggests keeping one word in mind to represent your intention for the day. That way, you leave your mat feeling extra motivated.

This flow is good for all fitness levels, and you won’t need any props like towels or boosters — just you, a mat, and 20 minutes to dedicate towards your practice.

The class features bridge poses to open up the front of your body, as well as a curly eagle pose to bring some “fire” to your core. Less than half an hour later and you’ll feel more revved and open as you kickstart your day.

If you’re someone who wakes up with stiff hips and a sore back (same), then opt for this 10-minute class that’s specifically meant to combat those a.m. aches. Reinhardt guides you through a series of moves like seated cat-cows, butterflies, and tabletop pose with hip circles to melt muscle tension.

For a full-body stretch, try this yoga practice that’s meant to wake you up from head to toe. You’ll do side stretches, you’ll thread the needle, you’ll downward dog — and by the end of class, your muscles will feel more open and lengthened so you can have a more productive morning.

Get yourself in a good mood with this 15-minute energizing yoga flow featuring sun salutations, which are perfect for getting your blood pumping first thing in the morning. It’s intermediate level, so you might enjoy it if you’re comfy with postures like chair pose, chaturanga, warriors, and backbends.

If you’re new to the whole morning yoga thing — or yoga in general — then this 20-minute routine’s for you. It focuses on easy peasy poses like reclined butterfly (lying back on the mat), downward facing dog (piking your hips into the air), and child’s pose (collapsing forward onto your mat). It’s chill, but still effectively stretches out your body after spending all night in bed.

Not feeling it this morning? Then you might appreciate this video featuring none other than three fluffy kittens. Follow along with Reinhardt’s 10-minute stretch flow, pausing occasionally to peek over at the cuteness.

This 30-minute video offers a well-rounded intermediate practice with a focus on flexibility and strength. You’ll find yourself in extra stretchy poses like “cat pulling its tail,” three-legged planks, and warrior III. This video also features Reinhardt’s cute dog, Luna, as an added perk for your viewing pleasure.

Groggy? Tired? Still half asleep? Try this video to wake yourself up. It’s only 10 minutes long, but by the end of the flow, you’ll feel like a brand new person thanks to Reinhardt’s combo of spine-lengthening cobra pose, hip-opening warriors, and energizing twisted lunges.
