Card 1 โ€” The Goal

๐ŸŒ… The 5-Minute Wake-Up Flow: Cat-cow ร—10, forward fold 20 seconds, gentle twists 10 seconds a side. Your spine wakes up before your coffee does โ€” no mat required.

Card 2 โ€” Step 1

๐Ÿ• The Bent-Knee Down-Dog: Beginners: bend the knees slightly in downward dog and keep the spine long instead of forcing straight legs. Hamstrings open with patience, not pain.

Card 4 โ€” Step 3

๐Ÿ“ The Weekly Wall Mark: Mark your reach on the wall once a week โ€” not daily. 1-2 cm a week compounds fast, and weekly checks show progress where daily checks show nothing.

Card 5 โ€” The Cheat Sheet

๐Ÿ“บ The Three-Video Playlist: Save exactly three free beginner flows to a playlist. Decision fatigue kills home yoga โ€” a ready playlist means you start in 10 seconds.
