KEEP THE PRACTICE SMALL

HOW TO CHOOSE

Choose the tone

Morning, recovery, strength, balance, or bedtime changes the sequence.

Link the shapes

A flow works when one position gives the next one a reason.

End calmly

The last minute should make the practice feel finished, not abandoned.

Morning flow

Reach, fold, lunge, twist, and stand up feeling less compressed.
