During February 2025, we have explored a specific sequence with the yogas that came to practice yoga on Wednesdays at the library. This yoga class is designed to ease tension, increase mobility, and restore energy. Whether you’re starting your day or unwinding in the evening, this flow will leave you feeling rejuvenated and deeply connected to your body.

Read on to learn more about the poses and their benefits and if you would like to give it a go, just follow the: Geny Caloisi’s Yoga Sequence_202502_library, you can also download it!

Beginning with Stillness and Breath

We start in Savasana (Corpse Pose), allowing the body to settle and the mind to quiet. This moment of stillness sets the foundation for presence and mindfulness throughout the practice. From here, we move into a Full Body Stretch, elongating the spine and awakening the muscles.

Next, Supta Padangusthasana A (Reclined Big Toe Pose A) and Pawanmuktasana (Wind Release Pose) gently open the hamstrings and hips while stimulating digestion. Seated Shoulder and Neck Rolls follow, relieving any stiffness in the upper body and preparing for deeper movement.

Spinal Awakening and Heart Opening

Transitioning to all fours, Cat-Cow (Bitilasana Marjaryasana) warms up the spine, syncing breath with movement. We then explore Urdhva Mukha Pasasana (Upward Facing Noose Pose A), a gentle twist that further mobilizes the back and shoulders.

Next, Puppy Pose (Uttana Shishosana) and Child’s Pose (Balasana) create space in the chest and lengthen the spine. Flowing between Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) and Child’s Pose allows for a dynamic yet grounding experience.

Building Strength and Stability

Stepping forward, we use blocks in Crescent Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana Block), providing support as we stretch the hip flexors. We then rise into Crescent High Lunge (Ashta Chandrasana), engaging the legs and core. Repeating on both sides, we strengthen balance and endurance.

After a gentle forward fold in Dangling Pose (Uttanasana Variation, Hands to Elbows), we stand tall in Mountain Pose (Tadasana), feeling grounded and strong.

Deep Stretches and Backbends

The wide-legged folds of Prasarita Padottanasana and its variation (D) deepen hamstring flexibility and calm the nervous system. Moving to the mat, Sphinx Pose and Cobra Pose gently open the heart while strengthening the spine.

Returning to Child’s Pose, we then shift into Bound Angle Pose (Baddha Konasana) for hip release, followed by Vakrasana (Seated Twist) to detoxify the body.

Final Relaxation and Release

We wind down with Bridge Pose (Setubandhasana), strengthening the lower back, and Reverse Pigeon (Sucirandhrasana) to release hip tension. Happy Baby (Ananda Balasana) offers a playful stretch before surrendering into Savasana once more, allowing the body to integrate the benefits of the practice.

This sequence balances movement and stillness, strength and surrender, leaving you refreshed, aligned, and at peace.
