My current project is to write ten brief yoga sequences. Each sequence can be done in 15-20 minutes, and each sequence follows a different theme. Today’s sequence focuses on the Neck, Back, and Shoulders. Since I’ve been practicing these sequences first thing in the morning, I often find I want to stretch out these areas before starting my day.
- begin in a comfortable seated position
- neck rolls
- neck warm-ups (as described here)
- shoulder rolls
- side stretches
- cat/cow
- downward dog
- standing forward fold
- mountain pose
- 2 half sun salutes
- standing rabbit (like #4 here, with a forward bend)
- come to the floor for camel pose
- upward plank
- seated forward fold
- marichyasana (take the twist, then unwind for a forward fold)
- in a comfortable seated position, take five deep breaths
