First week
Seven days, one quiet practice at a time.
Each day uses poses from the library, with a timer and the next cue on screen. Miss a day and just open the next one.
Swipe sideways for the rest of the week.
Day 1
Arrive
A first practice on the floor and on your feet. You learn Mountain, a soft fold, Cat and Cow, and a real rest.
Day 2
On the floor
A floor practice: Child’s Pose, Cat and Cow, a gentle backbend, and a twist. No standing balance today.
Day 3
Standing up
Mountain, Chair, a short Downward Dog, and both Warrior poses. Bend the knees whenever the hamstrings pull you around.
Day 4
Hips and legs
Bound Angle, a low lunge, a wide fold, and a strap stretch on your back. None of these need to look deep.
Day 5
A kinder back
Cat, Cow, Sphinx, a small Cobra, and Bridge. Stop if pain is sharp, and read the back-pain note on the blog before you treat this as care.
Day 6
Steady feet
Tree beside a wall, Warrior II, and Triangle with a block. Wobbling is the practice.
Day 7
Put it together
A slow sun-salutation shape, both sides, then Tree and a twist. This is the week’s practice in one place.

Getting started
Yoga props you actually need
Blocks, straps, blankets, and the household stand-ins that are safe enough to use. What to skip until a pose actually asks for it.
Getting started
Setting up a home practice space
The smallest room setup that makes a home practice likely. Clear floor, a blanket, a wall, and a phone that stays quiet.
Practice design
Morning practice versus evening practice
What changes between a morning routine and a sleep routine, and how to pick without a rule you will break.
Printable PDFs
Take the same practice off the screen.
A 30-day plan, pose cards, sleep back and desk routines, a breathing workbook, and a year journal. The words come from these pages. Separately that is $61. All five are $29. Free word searches and coloring pages are on the printables page.

History
Where the poses come from, and where the story gets thin.
A timeline and eight articles. Disputed dates stay disputed. The Indus seal is not treated as a pose manual.
