Lindsey's Vinyasa Flow Sequence

I took a really wonderful class today at Blackbird Yoga Studio with a friend, Lindsey. During Savasana, I got that lovely, tingly-all-over feeling that happens once in a blue moon but is *so great* when it does happen. She talked a lot about the movement of energy in the body and how the postures were mean to facilitate that. Well, certainly worked for me.

While some of the postures are harder to describe and don't have straight-forward Sanskrit names, I'll do my best here!
