beginner's asana sequence:
building your practice
This sequence is longer than the beginner's practice and can be used to continue constructing a home practice.(This sequence can also be done at level I.)
If it is too long, you can take parts of this practice. You can also use the shorter beginners practice but substitute different standing poses.
For more information about these poses, please
refer to Light on Yoga, Yoga: a Gem for Women, and Preliminary
Course. See our links page for the IYNAUS store.
