Dhanurasana (lying on stomach with legs bent toward the head and hands grabbing ankels).
             The pranayama I did today was Villoma (three part suspended breath).
             The meditation I did was Mantra.
             Before I started my yoga practice today I was pretty tired because it was in the morning. I"m not really much of a morning person and my body was not warmed up at all. I was thinking that I want to go back to sleep. After the first couple Asanas I could feel my body beginning to warm up a bit. I began feeling more awake and not as tired as I was before, and by the time I was doing my meditation I was feeling pretty good. After completing my practice I felt more ready to begin my day. My blood was flowing now I felt better when I left to go to class then I usually do. .

Ardha Chandrasana (right leg on floor and left leg extended forming a right angle and right hand on the floor).
             The pranayama I did today was Nadi Shodhana (Alternate nostril breathing).
             No meditation today.
