If you do the SAME yoga practice every day, what is it?

I've been doing regular yoga practice for a while, mostly working through Adrienne's 30 day series.
However I'm now looking for something that I can repeat daily and 'learn' so I'm not tied to watching/learning something new every day, and not tied to the TV!
Ideally it would be a 10-15 minute routine I can do first thing in the morning to stretch & improve morning flexibility!
Any suggestions...?

A nice yoga to do in the morning would be a sun salutation routine for ten minutes, and the five minutes in butterfly/happy baby/ savasana relaxation to finish. There's lots of sun salutations on YouTube, or even on the images section on Google that guide you through the set moves!

When I was doing a home yoga practice every day (chiefly during Covid, and for a little while afterwards), it was this one:

It is quite short and has good elements for strength and for balance (though perhaps less for flexibility). Somehow it clicked for me and I really got into it.
Think I might make an effort to get back there.

(I think you can ignore the 'yoga for weight loss' branding. It is just yoga.)

Yes I have a routine which I do 3-4 times a week (I’d be seriously bored if I did it every day!) takes 25-30 mins. A kind of Hatha / Vinyasa thing, flowing through a sequence of moves, but taking time while transitioning into each posture then holding it to take some measured breaths.

Firstly, approx 7 mins of back bends, forward folds, planks, twists, cats & cows, chaturangas, downward dogs etc.

Approx 15 mins of a routine which I do alternately, twice each side: starting always in downward-facing dog, then into 3-legged dog, then knees to each elbow then nose (rising back into 3LD each time), runner’s lunge, then high lunge, hand to floor twist, high lunge again, into warrior 2, reverse warrior, triangle pose, elbow to knee side lunge, (whatever that’s called), hand to floor, pyramid pose, standing split, down to seated supine twist, seated forward fold (one leg outstretched), then cross legs head to floor, then seated straddle pose. Then again leading with the other leg. Then repeat both sides.

then approx 3 mins of floor: bent leg twists each side, shoulder stands, ploughs, bridges.

finally, again alternately twice each side:
tree (arms raised then in prayer), warrior 3, eagle pose, then with arms in eagle pose I lower into standing split, drop hands to floor (!), back up in Kundalini’s descent.

A few bends and cool downs then Shavasana.

I’m sure there will be a few experts along to criticise my routine and correct my awful descriptions and terminology but this works for me!

You could learn the Ashtanga primary series, but it takes more than 15 minutes!

I have a modified sun salutation which includes a twist and warriors. I added them at the transition from forward fold to plank - step one leg back to lunge, keep hands on floor then twist and raise the hand on the same side as whichever leg is forward. Then up to warrior 2, triangle, reverse warrior. Then hands back to floor to lunge and then go into plank and carry on the sun salutation.

I'm currently working my way through the Kassandra 30 day series (only 10 mins so perfect to squeeze in) so not done this since 1st April.

I had this DVD years ago and it has short forms of ashtanga series inc a 15 min one. As I recall it packed a lot into those 15 mins . Still available as NSTC version but might be found elsewhere?

I do three lots each of the namaskara A and B first thing - two sorts of salutations- it takes between 10 and 15 mins.

It is much harder for me first thing but does get you going and I never find it gets boring because you always find something new in it.

Am probably several lifetimes away from doing the whole sequence!
