This is the yoga routine I got into the habit of doing every day after returning from fieldwork. Hold each pose for at least 3-5 seconds:
- Child’s pose
- Table top
- Hip circles, both directions
- Puppy pose
- Table top
- Down dog
- Left leg to sky three legged dog
- Left knee to left elbow
- Left leg to sky three legged dog
- Left knee to nose
- Left leg to sky three legged dog
- Left knee to right elbow twist
- Left leg to sky three legged dog
- Low lunge
- Left arm to sky
- Low lunge
- High lunge
- Twist arms to left
- Transition to warrior two
- Peaceful warrior
- Left elbow to left knee
- Half bind
- Peaceful warrior
- Low lunge
- Left leg to sky three legged dog
- Down dog
- Plank
- 5 press-ups
- Chaturanga
- Up dog
- Down dog
- Repeat 7-31 for right leg
- Onto back, knees bent
- Happy baby
- Relax
Sometimes I mixed in other things, like waterfall pose at the end, lizard pose instead of low lunge, or warrior three instead of high lunge.
