20 minute pitta balancing morning yoga

This 20-minute yoga sequence includes asana (poses) and prānayama (breathwork) to help you balance pitta dosha. It’s perfect to do if you have symptoms of excess pitta like skin redness, acid reflux, or anger/frustration.

This sequence includes movements that are designed to open the heart and balance the body and mind.

You’ll find a written out version of the sequence below as well as a video version that’s available for members of my on-demand yoga library. 

As you do this sequence, please modify in any way that supports your body and energy. Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program. This practice is not designed to prevent, diagnose, or treat any diseases.
