Do the 1st Three on Both Sides

Then go onto the standing poses. Right side first, then repeat on other side.

End with Camel Pose

& Be sure to focus on your breath.

Keep in mind that to become open, physically or emotionally, you can not be forceful.

By creating a smooth, deep & yogic breath you can slowly invite the openness you're looking for.

(try ujjayi, though this is a form of Praynayama, it can be a great base to find breath to help deepen into your poses.

Inhale through your nose, exhale through your nose while constricting the back of your throat to make an ocean-wave sound)
