Practicing sunrise to sunset practice? Daily routine of a Yogabhyasi

$

Enjoyed practice so much this morning ( 48 min 'Sit' followed by three hours  plus asana/pranayama, kind of 1/2 Primary 1/2 Int. Slow Ashtanga/Vinyasa Krama).

Such a nice pace to it, sweat free, breathing smooth, steady throughout, thought I could practise like this all day....

so why not.

Came across this great web page called Time and Date.com, love the little moving sun graphic,




And if the moon is your thing...





The site, now my homepage, has the sun rise and set times I so thought I'll get up for Sury's at 5:03 tomorrow morning and practice until sunset at 18.47,  keep the same pace as today (around 8-10 seconds each inhalation and exhalation) should be able to cover many of the Vinyasa Krama formal sequences with a rough Ashtanga framework  broken up buy pranayama, pratyahara, meditation. Be good to revisit some of the Vinyasa Krama subroutines I haven't practiced for awhile.

Off the top of my head I'm thinking something like this.

5.03         Sury with mantra    

                Full Tadasana ( Vinyasa krama)
