Duration : 1h39 (without Shavasana)

No Pranayama, no Meditation.

Shavasana : 10 minutes

Vinyasa from standing postures after Padahastasana, Trikonasana B, Parshvokonasana B, Prasaritta Padotanasana D, Parshvotanasana, Uttitha Hasta Padanghustasana, Ardha Baddha Padotanasana.

All full Vinyasa from sitting postures.

Mind: Calmer than yesterday.

Improvement: Marychasana series, dropping back bending and Shirshasana.

Breathing: Focused.

I felt great after the practice but was surprised that it last 1h39 minutes. I think that my breathing is maybe to fast when holding the 5 breaths. 

The evening practice is improving my morning practice even though in the evening I do not practice again the full primary Series but I do believe that extra exercice to focus on a particular point help the body.

Today I was not tired, I noticed also that during my Chaturanga my hands are getting closer. I have hyper extension on my elbow they are turning outside, so while lifting up in Urdhva Mukha I do an internal rotation of the elbow and push my shoulder backward, to my big surprise it improves my Urdhva Mukha.

All standing forward fold are really going deeper, I can say that my head is going down the tibia bone and getting closer to my ankles, I did not expect that, it just happened like that. I think this will be very helpful during the hand stand as now I really shift my body forward while jumping back. Of course the jumping back has to be improved but it will.

However I completely lost the count of the Vinyasa.... however from Dandasana after a full vinyasa until I place my foot for the next pose I am keeping the inhalation, means that my breathing can be longer.

So it is possible to do the full primary series with all vinyasa in less than 2 hours. I did not feel I was rushing at all.
