I am...back to square one with yoga. Again. New Year's resolution: fix this. I'm looking for an achievable-soonish goal, an achievable-mediumish goal, and an achievable-longish goal. Thoughts?

Thanks!

That's definitely my starting point. What I'd really like to work towards is doing 50 sun salutations - I prefer the "power yoga" kind of workout, but seriously, I'm lucky to burn through ten right now. :( I figure if I can bag 50 regularly (maybe not every day, but a few times a week) then I'll be ready to move on to more involved flows.

I do understand the internet thing though -- that's pretty much the black hole where my weekends go. :(

In that case, one possible mediumish goal might be working up to five, using a version of sun salutations that works for you (lunge salutations, chaturanga on your knees, whatever makes it manageable).

Sun salutations are great for getting everything warmed up before you do other poses, and they can get deeper and deeper the more you learn.
