As we age we lose muscle mass and bone density, if we do not incorporate weight bearing activities. We also lose flexibility and elasticity in our tendons and ligaments. Yoga can help with morning aches and pains of getting out of bed. Before getting out of bed try cat-cow pose a couple of times, with each transition focus your attention properly inhaling and exhaling for the correct contraction and relaxation of each pose. Doing cat-cow pose before getting out of bed also loosens up the cervical spine, thoracic spine and the lower lumbar spine.
