Wake Up - Warm Up

Quinoa Brekkie Bowl & Yogi Wake-Up Routine

The alarm rings and it's time to jump out of bed, get in the shower, throw down some coffee, grab a muffin and rush out the door. Right? Not so right if you want to get your day off to a gentle, more balanced start that will give you a steady, focused energy throughout the morning. Camilla demonstrates a step-by-step 5-minute "wake-up" routine with stretches and breathing - a perfect transition from sleep to waking - before you even pull the covers back and your feet hit the ground. For breakfast, Melissa prepares a quick and easy "Quinoa Protein Brekkie Bowl" that has all the right ingredients to satisfy your palette and your nutritional needs (quinoa is known as a "superfood") for the morning. It's going to be a beautiful day!
