Morning ritual designed to inspire and energize by focusing on self-care to enhance overall well-being and productivity.
Hi, my name is Teresa Porter, and I am the owner and CEO of Sirrine Yoga. I put together some of my resources that will aid in waking up the body, mind, body, and soul and help you have an inspired, creative, and productive day. I suggest using these tools and practices along with some of your go-tos before you check into everyone’s agendas. That means before you check texts, emails, social media, and the news.
I call this time a power hour for you that feeds your mind, body, and soul. The Power Hour is one of the 5 To Thrive I teach my clients and community. Over the past twenty-plus years, I have seen five things they neglect, but if they did these five actions, it would help them Thrive, not just survive. This Power Hour is meant to pour into yourself before you give to everyone else. When you start off your morning this way, you become intentional in many ways throughout the day and less reactive.
Connect and Envision Sequence
The 8-minute video below briefly overviews practices to ignite your mind, body, and soul for the day. Feel free to adjust the pace, pausing or extending each step as needed. This flexibility lets you personalize your experience and cater to your unique needs.
Release Your Upper Body
After a prolonged period of sitting, it’s important to move and energize your body. The following exercises are designed to target specific areas and promote overall well-being.
Upper Back Stretches
Helps create ROM (Range of Motion) and release the upper body (thoracic region)
2 min wall stretches to release tension in shoulders, chest, low back, and hamstrings
Lower Back and Hips
For low back & hips (recommend doing this one before next one)

Legs Up The Wall
The legs-up-the-wall yoga pose, Inverted Lake or Viparita Karani, has many benefits—see below. But I found these three variations of this pose will help release your lower back, hamstrings, and inner thighs. Elevating your legs above your heart will help bring blood flow back towards your heart and energize you. It can also act as an energy reversal. So, if you need an energy boost or wind down at night, legs up the wall is a good option.
These three poses are from my “15 minutes Against the Wall” online yoga video, also featured on a segment of ABC15’s Sonoran Living Live Morning Show!

Other Benefits Of Putting The Legs Up The Wall In As Little As 1-10 minutes, Just 1-2 Times A Day:
- It helps to reset the stress response in the body.
- Helps to lower cortisol levels in the body (high cortisol is a direct contributor to abdominal fat- significant in perimenopause and menopause)
- It helps improve circulation, especially in the lower body (swollen legs/ankles, varicose veins, edema, etc.)
- It brings all the blood back to the digestive system and organs (increased blood flow = improved organ health)
- It pulls you out of sympathetic (fight/flight) and brings you into parasympathetic (rest/digest)
- Regularly putting your legs up before bedtime can improve sleep since it lowers cortisol and resets your body’s stress response (in turn promoting better hormone balance)
- It helps reduce anxiety and depression since it pushes the body into parasympathetic mode (rest/digest)
