15 Yoga Sequences That Will Help You Feel Refreshed and Restored in Just 30 Minutes

For the longest time, my sister would wake up at 6 a.m. sharp and head to an hour-long yoga class in a Lululemon outfit that was as perfectly coordinated as her life. Meanwhile, as someone who couldn't be bothered to learn the difference between poses like warrior I, warrior II, and warrior III, I would always opt for sleeping in as my method of rejuvenation. It was only when I saw her switch to at-home yoga that I realized my sister was onto something.

As it turns out, dedicating 30 minutes of your day to focus on your body and spirit makes a huge difference in setting the tone for your morning or evening. Yoga isn't always all about perfect coordination. Whether you wake up feeling anxious and disorganized, need the antidote to group chat drama, or could just really use the reminder to "Set your gaze forward," doing a quick yoga session helps you find that sense of calmness or boost of energy. Here are 15 of our favorite beginner to advanced yoga sequences that'll come in handy wherever or whenever you need 30 minutes to yourself.
