1. Child's pose

2. Table top

3. Hip circles, both directions

4. Puppy pose

5. Table top

6. Down dog

7. Left leg to sky three legged dog

8. Left knee to left elbow

9. Left leg to sky three legged dog

10. Left knee to nose

11. Left leg to sky three legged dog

12. Left knee to right elbow twist

13. Left leg to sky three legged dog

14. Low lunge

15. Left arm to sky

16. Low lunge

17. High lunge

18. Twist arms to left

19. Transition to warrior two

20. Peaceful warrior

21. Left elbow to left knee

22. Half bind

23. Peaceful warrior

24. Low lunge

25. Left leg to sky three legged dog

26. Down dog

27. Plank

28. 5 press-ups

29. Chaturanga

30. Up dog

31. Down dog

32. Repeat 7-31 for right leg

Sometimes I mixed in other things, like waterfall pose at the end, lizard pose instead of low lunge, or warrior three instead of high lunge.
