Draft
Winding down in the evening
The end of the day is a good time for slower practice. These poses stay low to the floor and are held for longer, with the breath kept long and easy.
How to use this
- Dim the lights if you can, and stay in each pose for several slow breaths.
- Finish lying down for a few minutes before getting up.
