My morning yoga today was the Heart-Air sequence from Shiva Rea's Daily Energy.
I knew what to expect from muck_a_luck's excellent dvd review, but the actuality was so richer. Yes, they are all backbendy poses, but if, like me, you think "cobra" and "updog" in terms of backbends, you will be very enjoyably surprised! Most of these backbends are the twisty kind. I did some flopping around helplessly at first - "Where is that foot? I know it was there a minute ago!" because it was early, but eventually I got right in to things. (Next time, though, I will follow the suggestion and do the Solar Meditation to loosen things up a bit first.) I didn't do the One-legged Wheel, but boy did I impress myself with pushing up into Wheel at 6:15 in the morning. Wow wow wow.
