Sequence for Friday April 6

This one is based on day five with Patricia at the abbey with some additions in bold.  At least that's the plan for Friday as of early Monday morning.   Devon will lead  April 13.   Devon and I are both gone the 20th,  there's a training at the studio on the 27th, 

Then we are on again first two weeks in may and the last week in may.

PM prep with  palms open little finger side pressing down turn thumbs away from each other.
PM  in middle of room if  you can.
sirsasana

  right  after  PM  do  one urdhva Dhanurasana  knowing it will be only one  and do that pose with the mindset that it is your only shot at it for now

Chair dwi pada, but go through the opposite way (may need to add  height if tall,  coil arms first, then grab  ankles like chatushpadasana.
Gives mobility in pelvis and ribs.

Standing back arch up from  wall, start sitting on chair hands on  wall, stand up and straight arms,   note connection between back leg and upper back, 
then stand further away from wall,  straight legs first   lift  chest,  walk down wall,  pelvis can go forward but not abdomen.
Did a couple partner assists with more experience people put fists in back and lift up  for less experienced assisters, hold brick on chest and tell them to lift. 
Lots of  Urdhva D's  first don't walk in at all, then walk in an inch at a time.  Probably did about ten all together,  worked some with not allowing the arms to roll out,  worked with lifting head up to chest and making arms as straight as possible. 

AMVrk (all backbends are forgotten)
Ardha Halasana
Sarvangasana
savasana
