The Seated Surya Namaskar B (Seated Sun Salutation B) is practiced in seated positions on the floor. All the 15 yoga poses (except one) are done while kneeling on the floor. A better way to enjoy this variation of Sun Salutation B is to place a blanket below the knee, for better support. Seated Sun Salutation B helps boost energy in the body and hence can be included in flow yoga sequences.

Super Soldier Pose Yoga (Viparita Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana) | Yoga Sequences, Benefits, Variations, and Sanskrit Pronunciation | Tummee.com
Super Soldier Pose is a relatively newer posture and is a creative yoga pose which incorporates an inversion, a twist, a deep hip-opening, a chest opening through lateral stretch, a forward bend and finally has a balancing element. For this reason, it is an advanced posture. It does not form a part of any traditional yoga pose, or style of yoga and hence, can be described as a ‘New Age’ pose, made popular through social media due to the complicated looking final position.

300+ Backbend Yoga Poses to Plan Yoga Sequences
The use of more than three or four yoga poses in a yoga sequence is said to be a mini yoga sequence or better still yoga flow sequence. The number of yoga poses in a flow sequence depends on the level of the practitioner and also the nature or purpose of the flow. Here in Cobra Dance Flow, the choice of the three yoga poses are: Adho mukha Virasana (Downward Facing Hero Pose) with extended arms in front. Bhujangasana Variation Elbows (Cobra Pose Variation Elbows). Marjaryasana (Cat Pose).

Wheel Pose Bolster Blocks is both a restorative practice (to strengthen the back and neck), and is also a supported alternative practice (for Wheel Pose (Urdhva Dhanurasana)). The use of blocks and a bolster supports the entire spine and is therefore a safe practice for absolute beginners before going into the full Urdhva Dhanurasana. This support helps the students push themselves up without having the fear of falling down (which otherwise would be the floor).

Butterfly Bridge Lifts Pose, is a wonderful combination of Setubandhasana or Bridge Pose and Supta Baddha Konasana or Reclined Bound Angle Pose. Very few yoga poses work on the deep inner thighs and groin muscles and tissues, without causing stretch to the hamstrings and the lower back. Here in Butterfly Bridge Lift Pose, the entire groin, mainly the deep inner thigh muscles, the gluteus maximus helps to gain strength with the tight contraction while in both Bridge and Bound Angle Pose.

Bhekasana Yoga (Frog Pose Ii) | Yoga Sequences, Benefits, Variations, and Sanskrit Pronunciation | Tummee.com
Derived from Sanskrit, 'bheka' which means 'toad or frog' and 'asana' which means 'posture', the body resembles the shape of a frog in this posture, and hence the name, Bhekasana. This posture is done lying down on the belly and is considered an advance pose with the back bent which requires a lot of flexibility at the middle back. Bringing the legs bent at the knee, the feet are pushed downwards towards the floor with the hands, close to the hips.
