Cultivating a Practice - Day 5 (45 min)

On Day 5 props you will need: a mat, yoga strap, block(s) I'm demonstrating with two but you can use one or maybe none, supports for sitting and savasana - options are: a chair, meditation cushion, block and blankets, bolster, eye covering.

We practice sitting and sounding bhramari pranayama. Child pose with side bend and twist variations. Upward facing puppy and downward facing puppy, and hip flexor to hamstring stretch flow. Standing poses: natarajasana variation (dancer pose), virabhadrasana 3 (warrior 3) and virabhadrasana 1 (warrior 1). Lunges, adhomukha svanasana (downward facing dog), full or knee plank, chaturanga dandasana ( four limb staff pose), dhanurasana prep, dhanurasana (bow pose), supine twist (jathara parivartanasana variation - revolved abdomen pose), supta padangusthasana (supine big toe pose). Seated beginning meditation, happy baby pose, savasana (corpse pose). Reminder - the video ends as we settle into savasana, it is not timed. So you may want to set your own timer or just free style it!
