This is a great morning routine to do if you need a boost of energy and want to get your enenrgy flowing for the day. Start with some pranayama like alternate nostril breathing for about 3-5 rounds and then start the asana sequence. Hold each pose for about 5 breaths at least. If you are unsure about any of the poses you can go to www.yogajournal.com/poses and you can search for the pose description. I can also email you a word document of this sequence!
Enjoy!
