Urdhva Hastasana (Upward Salute Pose) is a great yoga pose to help you feel more awake and alert in the morning. By lifting your arms overhead and stretching through your fingertips, you can increase blood flow and oxygen to your brain, helping you feel more energized and focused.

Plus, practicing Urdhva Hastasana regularly can help improve your posture, increase flexibility in your shoulders and chest, and reduce stress and tension in your body.

If you're interested in trying Urdhva Hastasana, start by standing in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and lifting your arms overhead as you inhale.
