28m
You'll get all the benefits and structure of a full class but in less than half the time with this one! There's a seated sequence and a slow Sun Salutation to warm you up then three Sun Salutations that include Half Chair Pose (Ardha Utkatasana), Pigeon Pose (Eka Pada Rajkapotasana) (with option to take Eye of the Needle Pose instead if you prefer), Deer Pose Twist (Mrigasana) and a cross-legged forward fold (Sukhasana variation).

Props required: None needed.
Mat direction: Long edge of the mat facing the screen.
