Incredibly long yoga sequences
Ever participate in a yoga class, the teacher goes through a sequence, and you think: "How the heck can they remember that for the other side?" I'm going to experiment with putting some 10+ poses in a row that need to be repeated and see if, in my personal practice, it works.
Incredibly long yoga sequences
