Have you ever tried a Moon Salutation aka Chandra Namaskar?

It hasn't been around as long as its famous counter part Surya Namaskar (salute to the sun), but it's a really nice sequence that makes us move in all directions, using the long end of the mat.

The Shiva Samhita (500 year old Tantric text) regards the moon as the source of immortality. Like the 'sun' is located in the solar plexus, the 'moon' is said to be located in the crown of the head and contains 'amrita' the divine nectar of immortality. (There is a yogic practice where you to slice your tongue - just a little -so you can flip the tongue into the back of the throat better and catch this amrita and reverse ageing and decay… Well, this may be a gentler way of keeping the elixir of life.)
