Yoga for Fatigue

To raise the energy level in a human body the solar plexus needs to be targeted, as stretching this region increases the flow of energy through the spine and brings a sense of aliveness in your soul. Bring your awareness to the top part of your stomach as you practice these exercises and you will soon notice a change in your tiredness levels.

CAUTION: Practice these exercises gently and slowly and avoid jerks. Those with high blood pressure and heart conditions, hernia and peptic ulcers should avoid Exercise 3.
