It's a beautiful morning. I did my own sequence today, somewhat like a flow. I started with 3 sun salutations. Then, I flowed between the next postures...Warrior I, Warrior II, Reverse Warrior, Extended Side Angle pose; I went into an asana then switched sides to do the other side. After finishing in downward dog and jumping into forward bend, I did a flow with Half Moon Pose, into Warrior III then into Standing Splits. Back to a forward bend and repeated on the other side. From there I did Tree Pose flowing into Royal Dancer and then switched sides. I sat down and went into Boat Pose. From there, I laid back to do Bridge Pose. I went down one vertebrae at a time then up into Wheel Pose. After, I laid in savasana. Nice energizing sequence. Namaste.

Another chilly morning here in San Antonio, in the 30s right now. I woke up feeling like a have a cold starting behind my nose area. Almost as if I could start sneezing and get runny nose at any second. I wanted to find a sequence to help boost my immunity.

I'm not sure if I've done this sequence before or not, seems somewhat familiar. Featured as part of the yogajournal live mag, this sequence is entitled Happy Days. For beginners, it recommends a block; a blanket for all.
It's a chilly overcast day. I feel really calm and relaxed. http://www.yogajournal.com/video/174
