a couple of ways to tackle home practice -- either targeting a specific thing or kind of practice no matter what or a deep listening practice where how you're feeling determines where you'll take your practice. Both types have great value to them -- sometimes at the beginning of a home practice, it can be useful to have a target, a goal. But I'd just caution that sometimes being too rigid with a plan can take the juice and the joy out of the practice and thereby defeat the purpose. Examples of warm ups: cat/cow; wrist vinyasa; foot massage; lunges/pulsations; shoulder openers; gentle twists; supine ab work -- good idea to move with the breath to begin with, rather than to hold anything static at this early point in the practice. Namaskars (salutations) These are heat building sequences designed to increase the energy in the body and loosen everything up. They are great for building strength and flexibility. Common salutations include Sun and Moon salutations. Core Cultivation Simple core strengtheners early on in the practice serve to prepare the body for the deeper work to come. Boat poses, planks, side planks and reclined core work are great optins. Heating Inversions It's a good idea to do the preparation for and practice of heating inversions early in the practice while you're still fresh and your energy is high. These poses require lots of strength and stamina so if you're feeling a little off, it's best to leave them till another day
