this one starts in the place we want to end up…deep rest. then we move into rhythmic floor stretches, seated shoulder openers, and finally strong flow.  a really great way to wake up any time of day…as long as you’re ok with the yoga truth that whenver the yoga teacher says “one more” they mean “one more on each side” …
