Today's Sequence — 15 min

01.

Vinyasa Flow

Intermediate

Chaturanga to Up Dog

⏱ 5 min

1. From Downward Dog, inhale forward to Plank Pose.
2. Exhale, lower halfway down, keeping elbows hugged tightly to the ribs (Chaturanga).
3. Inhale, roll over the toes, straighten the arms, and lift the chest into Upward-Facing Dog, engaging the triceps and opening the chest.
4. Exhale, lift the hips back to Downward Dog. Repeat 3 times.

Alignment Tip Do not let your shoulders dip below your elbows in Chaturanga to protect the rotator cuff.

Modification: Lower your knees to the mat from Plank, then lower all the way to your belly and practice Baby Cobra instead of Upward-Facing Dog.

02.

Triangle Pose

Beginner

Trikonasana

⏱ 5 min

1. From Warrior II (right foot forward), straighten your right leg. Inhale and reach your right arm forward as far as possible.
2. Exhale, hinge at the hip, bringing your right hand to your shin, a block, or the floor. Reach the left arm toward the ceiling.
3. This deeply stretches the hamstrings and side body while requiring core stability. Hold for 5 breaths, then switch.

Alignment Tip Imagine your body is between two panes of glass; keep the hips and shoulders stacked.

Modification: Keep your bottom hand resting on your thigh or shin; avoid pressing directly onto the knee joint.

Vrksasana

⏱ 5 min

1. Stand in Mountain Pose. Shift your weight onto your left leg.
2. Place the sole of your right foot on your left inner ankle, calf, or inner thigh.
3. Bring hands to prayer at your chest. Fix your Drishti (gaze) on an unmoving spot to aid balance.
4. Hold for 5-8 breaths to build proprioception and ankle stability. Switch sides.

Alignment Tip Never place your foot directly against the side of your knee to prevent lateral joint stress.

Modification: Keep your right toes lightly resting on the floor (kickstand mode) if balancing is highly challenging today.
