Ashtanga Yoga Home Practice Kit

You'll need:
Practice Space
Practice Surface
Comfortable clothing
Yoga Mala book

Method:
1.  Tristhana - Focus on breathing (through the nose, around the ribs), squeezing anus, concentrating the gaze
2.  When not to practice - first 3 days of menstruation, sick with fever, saturday or sunday, full/new moon day

What to practice -
Surya Namaskar A 1-5 times and last three asanas each day until you can keep the tristhana the whole time.  If you can maintain that for at least a week, then add the next element, Surya Namaskar B.
Repeat Surya Namaskar A 1-5 times and Surya Namaskar A 1-3 times and last three asanas each day until you can keep the tristhana the whole time.  If you can maintain that for at least a week, then add the next element, padangusthasana and padahastasana.
Keep going like this and eventually get yourself to a teacher!
