Yoga Moving Asanas Cheat Sheet

This is what I have from my notes of the ~40 minutes of moving asanas.  This isn't perfect...just a startign point to help me prepare for the moves.  I may edit this later.  Other descriptions are in the P90X book starting on page 53.  These aren't descriptions of the poses, but rather what you are made to go through to get to each one.

Remember, except for some of the twists, your forward arm is always the same as your forward leg.  For instance, if your right leg is out front and an arm is to be pointed outward, it will be your right arm.
