Key Elements

• Breath-Movement Sync: Each inhale expands the body, each exhale contracts it, linking breath (pranayama) to movement (asana).

• Sequence: A cyclical flow from standing (Tadasana) to forward fold (Uttanasana), halfway lift (Ardha Uttanasana), plank, Chaturanga (or knees-chest-chin), Upward Dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana), Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana), and back through variations to standing.

• Purpose: To warm up the body, boost energy, improve flexibility, and calm the mind, serving as a complete practice or preparation for deeper yoga.
