Do you think you are too busy to exercise? Can't fit in a lengthy yoga session every morning? Don't worry, there is yoga for busy people too. Here is a quick and easy yoga sequence that you can do at home, in the office at lunch or whenever you need to on the go. With a quick, simple and easy workout, there is no excuse not to fit some yoga for busy people into your life.

1 - Kapalabhati - This is a breathing technique that is used for cleansing. Learn this breathing technique if you want to cleanse your air ways and open up your breathing, increasing your energy and your wellness in the process.

2 -Easy Pose, also known as Sukhasana - This is a classic meditative pose that is typically performed after corpse pose, though it also fits in well at the beginning of a yoga sequence. It will straighten your spin, slow down your metabolism for calmness, promote inner tranquility and keep your mind feeling still and satisfied.

3 -Cat Pose, also known as Bidalasana - This pose teaches you to initiate some movement from the center of your body and to coordinate your breath with your movement. These are two vital themes in any yoga practice.

4 -Dog Pose, also known as Adho Mukha Shvanasana - This pose improves spinal flexibility while stretching the hips and the middle back and low back, rejuvenating your body and helping to prevent future back problems in the process.

5 - Double Leg Raises - This is similar to a single leg raise but you raise both legs against the wall. The full length of your back should be resting on the floor with shoulders and neck relaxed completely.

6 - Half Spinal Twist, also known as Ardha Matsyendrasana - If you do this pose properly, it will lengthen and strengthen your spine. This pose also happens to be beneficial for your liver, your kidney and your adrenal glands as well.

7 - Locust Pose, also known as Salabhasana - This pose mainly targets your lower back, strengthening your abdominal muscles, your arms and your legs at the same time. This pose also generally entails rapidly moving unlike most poses in yoga.

8 - Wind Relieving Pose, also known as Pavanamuktasana - This pose works primarily on your body's digestive system, helping to eliminate excess gas from within your stomach.

9 - The Corpse Pose, also known as Savasana - This is considered to be a classic pose for relaxation and can be practiced as a final relaxation as well as in between other asanas. It looks simple but is actually a tricky one to perform.

There are hundreds of asanas for you to learn. When it comes to yoga for busy people, the best thing that you can do is find the ones that generate the best results for you and work them into your day whenever possible.
