About This Practice

Many students believe that a yoga practice needs to be long in order to be effective. In reality, consistency is often more important than duration. A practice that you can return to regularly is often more beneficial than an ambitious practice that rarely happens.

This sequence was designed with that principle in mind. In just sixteen minutes, you'll move through a thoughtful progression that helps address common areas of stiffness while reconnecting with the body.

The poses are accessible, practical, and easy to revisit. Whether you're trying to establish a home practice or simply fit yoga into a busy day, this sequence offers a realistic and sustainable approach.
