List of Yoga Poses for 90-Minute Intermediate Class

I created this original Hatha yoga sequence for a 90-minute intermediate class by using my favorite yoga book Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. If you’re a Hatha yoga teacher, you probably have it already. You can also find explanations for most of the asanas in Yoga Journal’s pose library.

I road-tested this 90-minute sequence in my studio and have performed it many times for my home practice. Enjoy!
