Day 17

Isn't it amazing that after just a few minutes of breath and movement your whole energy can be so radically shifted? I practiced for right around 30 minutes tonight, after I put my kids to be, which is usually such a sleepy not so productive time. But it was great and I felt totally re-energized and inspired for the evening and now I am ready to hit the hay. So good. It is so siple and yet it continues to be so profound for me. I feel so good when I practice. I feel more like myself more of the time. Amen.

Enough of my personal testimonial. What about you? What is happening for you through this process?

And what about this next sequence? Are you all still using these? Or are you so comfy at this point that you know just what to do? Perhaps a bit of both I suspect.

So, for Thursday, how about some backbends?

Surya Namaskar A 3x

Surya Namaskar B 3x

-for both of these, stay in cobra for several breathes instead of just an inhale.

Handstand and Pinca Mayurasana if you practice these, if not just skip 'em.

Virabadrasana 1 with hands clasped behind your back.

Anjanyasana

Parsvottanasana

Parivritta Parsvakonasana

(look familiar?)

Anjanyasana with a thigh stretch 3x

Pigeon thigh stretch

Dhanurasana

Setubandha and any variations that you like

Urdhva Dhanurasana 3-10x (not a typo)

AMS

Uttanasana

Baddha Konasana

Janu Sirsasana

Paschimotanasana

Savasana

This looks like somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour depending on holds and time between poses. Have a blast!
