Layman,

This is generally pretty goodl, but I would suggest the following adjustments, particularly pachimothanasana, which is preferably a counter-pose to fish. Also, Child’s pose or something like it is necessary after your back-work. Give it a try.

Thanks Siva!

I will try this.

#4

What about adding a balancing pose like vrksasana, ardha chandrasana, or garudasana?

#5

Lotus:

I am planning to add Tree pose. Also I thought Triangle pose infact is a balancing pose ? am I mistaken.

Thanks!

#6

I don’t really consider Trikonasana a balancing pose. It does have elements of balancing, but it is considered a standing pose. The addition of tree is good. Maybe alternate between the 3 I listed. Variety is the spice of life, you know!

#7

Make sense. Thanks Lotus!
