I left all my yoga props at home so for my practice this morning I used a stack of books (two novels, one guide book and a book of sudoku puzzles) instead of a block for virasana (hero pose). Supta padangustasana (supine hand to big toe pose) was against the door jam, followed by dead bug (no props necessary). To open my chest I lied over the stack of books again before standing on my head. A five minute sirsasana (head stand) was just what I was looking for today. I really needed to get upside down. I used one of the chairs in the room for chair sarvanagasana (shoulderstand) and ended with a couple of twists before savasana. Ready for the day!
