Dear Adarsh, I tried to practice the “CHEAT SHEET” in my mysore this morning. Apart from parshvottanasana and parsvadhanurasana that I forgot to do, I followed your SHEET. It took me about one hour.
Because I have meniscus problem, I found this Sheet very useful as the poses that required bending knees were taken away. May I ask if you designed this Sheet with this in mind? If that is the case, I wonder whether it should include Uth Pluthi as it is a more intense padmasana pose. Recently, my yoga teacher in hong Kong said that in traditional practice, there was no uth pluthi.
Cheers, Kat (from Hong kong). 0

Hi Kat,
Thanks for your comment. It’s nice to know that you were able to follow along with the new Cheat Sheet. Yes, I wanted to provide a “Knee-friendly” sequence for those with tight hips, knee problems, or just wanted a short version of the series.
As for your question about Uth Pluthi, it’s always been in the series since I’ve practice (since ’98), but I can understand why someone might avoid this intense asana at the end of the practice when you are already relaxed.
I hope this helps.
All the best from The Netherlands!
Adarsh
