Daily Yoga Exercises

Everyday Yoga Practice

It’s time to present the daily yoga exercises for February and this month I am going to expand this "Yoga Asana for the Month" concept, and include a Meditation for the month, as well as a Yoga Pranayama (Breathing Exercise) for the month. 

We started this new idea in August of last year and below are the yoga exercises we have practiced so far.   Essentially, the idea is for all of us to include some great exercises and techniques into our daily practice and then to report back our thoughts and feedback regarding them throughout the month.  The goal is to learn from each other, develop our ability to do these techniques better and enjoy the benefits that daily practice brings.
