That's a good idea too. What I do if I have an hour or so is 3 each sun salutations and only a vinyasa between asanas, not on each side. I can usually get about half way before I start the finishing...

Can someone share what David Swenson prescribed as the short form for practice ?
View ArticleRe: Short Practice
I have to say I agree with Yoga Vane. I often overhear my teacher telling other students to do less, more often, instead of doing a full prac only once or twice a week because it is too tiring....

I start the completing sequence. I'm not certain how much time a one wind perform would save, but I might give it a proceed next week. Roll on easter hols, then I can halt observing the timepiece for...
