Warrior Four

After a long snowshoe trek yesterday on the north side of Mt. Hood, I was feeling pretty beat, my legs were worked over, and just generally body tired. My mind was racing pretty quick, and I needed a nice center, so thought I’d browse around for an evening practice to do at home.

I quickly came across moon salutations (Chandra Namaskar).  These are apparently a Hatha-based series of poses intended to bring center and relaxation to the body.  I found an audio product called Moon Salutations Flow #1 by Lisa Richards and purchased it for $2.95.  The simple flow was not too different from a light sun salutation series, with an emphasis on opening up the backside, and was very nice for finding center.

Note to self: turn off randomizer in iTunes next time.  The White Stripes are a bit abrupt at the close of relaxation.

I am curious what other options there are for recommended evening yoga.  Something simple to tie my day together, to help me leave it behind, and relax my body in preparation for rest.
