Even though it is Wednesday night. But I turn in soon, and I really want to make sure that this is up for any of you crazy folks up before me. That is early. Or for any friends on the East Coast.
I thought that I would put up a sequence that I use a lot in my practice with a few small changes. In fact, I just finished doing these very poses in front of my wood stove.
1 minute each:
Adho Muhka Svanasana
Uttanasana
Trikonasana
Parsvakonasana
Parivritta Trikonasana
Parivritta Parsvakonasana
Uttanasana
Supta Virasana (5 minutes- again, if you do not practice this pose, do ardha bhekasana)
1 minute each:
Pascimottanasana
Janu Sirsasana
Triang Muhkaikapadapascimottansana
Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottanasana (or Janu Sirsasana again if you are not doing lotus)
Marichyasana 1
Pascimottanasana
Savasana
I really do this all of the time but I add in some inversions. You are welcome to do this if you practice them regularly. I put sirsasana (headstand) at the beginning anywhere from 5-10 minutes, and Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) at the end for the same amount of time. This turns a 25 minute practice into more like a 45 minute one.
Let me know how it is going. Some of you have expressed frustration at having to spend so much time looking up the poses. Hang in there. Everything will keep getting more familiar. And if you are short on time you can always do a sequence that you have all set for yourself. I am going to put up a video clip of a sequence this weekend and that should be a big help.
Leave me your comments and have fun!
