Yoga finisher after weights

I usually go at a faire pace, so it works more as a finisher for a weights workout rather than a relaxing session. As always with yoga, the focus is on the breath. I try not to do it as a set of exercises, rather a set of lessons about myself. Do a little research on each pose and find it's meaning and what thoughts you should be concentrating on while you are in it. Makes a tremendous difference at the end of the workout.
Given a good pace it takes about 15 min to go though this workout. Fair warning, this is not for the beginners.

4 Short Sun salutations:
(last two with downward dog with raised leg variation, keep the leg up and release gradually when getting into upward dog)


Left side cycle:
(then repeat for the right side)


Obliques cycle:
(left side, then repeat for right. 10 pushups in the last pose (Astavakrasana)

On the floor cycle:

Standing cycle :
(Left side then same cycle for right side)
Another standing cycle :


Hope you enjoy it! Namaste!
