Yoga for Myself

Well, my Monday morning private canceled after I'd already made breakfast, so I spent the time drinking tea and then crawled back into bed to cuddle with my sweetie, instead. Then, nobody showed up for my lunchtime class at HYP, so I practiced on my own, instead. Today's been all about yoga for myself! Hee hee. I had a great, short practice, and was compelled, urged, to write down my sequence immediately afterwards. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe because I didn't get to share my yoga in other ways (i.e., in class). It was pretty much similar to the way I normally practice when it's my own time, but I've been drawn to share it on the blog, so here ya go. Pretty typical and fun for me, with vinyasas between most of the standing poses, but not the seated ones. With more time, I'd add some arm balances, and I'd hold the inversions for several minutes, but anyway here's what I did today:

  1. Surya Namaskara A x3 - Sun Salutes A
  2. Surya Namaskara B x3 - Sun Salutes B
  3. Virabhadrasana II - Warrior II
  4. Trikonasana to Ardha Chandrasana to Trikonasana - Triangle to Half Moon to Triangle
  5. Parsvakonsasana - Extended Side Angle
  6. Bird of Paradise (I'm workin' on it!)
  7. Virabhadrasana I - Warrior I
  8. Virabhadrasana III - Warrior III
  9. Prasarita Padottonasana with Gomukhasana arms
  10. Prasarita Padottonasana A into Headstand
  11. Tadasana - Mountain
  12. Natarajasana - King Dancer
  13. Kapotasana - Pigeon
  14. Eka Pada Rajakapotasana - Mermaid
  15. Dhanurasana - Bow
  16. Ustrasana - Camel
  17. Urdhva Dhanurasana x3 - Upward Bow
  18. Jathara Parivartanasana - Reclined Twist
  19. Apanasana
  20. Halasana to Sarvangasana to Halasana - Plough to Shoulderstand to Plough
  21. Matsyasana - Fish
  22. Hanumanasana - Monkey/Splits (I'm working on 'em!)
  23. Janu Sirsasana - One-legged Seated Forward Bend
  24. Paschimottanasana - Seated Forward Bend
  25. Ardha Padmasana - Half-Lotus Forward Bend
  26. Apanasana
  27. Savasana
  28. Meditation in Lotus
Mmmmm... yummy! Enjoy or comment or practice it on your own - it's a good time!

Namasté.
