Q – I often feel low on energy and struggle to exercise consistently. How can yoga help me stay active?

– J. Hansen, London

A: Short, intentional yoga sessions—10–15 minutes of slow Sun Salutations or seated stretches—can gradually rebuild energy. Evening restorative poses like Supta Baddha Konasana with long exhalations encourage recovery and relaxation. Focus on quality over quantity: small, consistent sessions are more sustainable than long, sporadic ones. Pair practice with grounding foods, like lightly spiced soups or root vegetables, to support vitality. Incorporate micro-movements throughout the day: standing stretches, gentle twists, or shoulder rolls to maintain energy. Yoga teaches patience and self-compassion. Building sustainable energy takes time, and steady effort is key
