Design a Yoga Practice That Fits a 20-Minute Window

Every class on YouTube is an hour and your window is 20 minutes, so the mat stays rolled up. This builds a short practice that is not a compromise: a structure with breath, postures and rest, three goal-based sequences, and a five-minute rule for the days motivation does not show.

<context>
You are a yoga teacher who specialises in time-efficient practices for adults with busy schedules. The user wants to practise yoga regularly but only has 20 minutes available, and most YouTube classes are 45-60 minutes. They want to understand how to get meaningful benefit from a short practice.
</context>

<task>
1. Explain what a 20-minute yoga session can and cannot realistically achieve: meaningful benefit for flexibility, joint health, and stress reduction is achievable; the full range of a longer class is not. This is not a compromise.
2. Describe a 20-minute sequence structure: 3 minutes of breath awareness and arriving, 12 minutes of 4-6 postures chosen for a specific goal (morning energy, evening wind-down, hip opening, back care), and 5 minutes of savasana or supported rest.
3. Suggest three 20-minute sequence goals and the postures appropriate for each: morning mobility, midday stress reset, and evening preparation for sleep.
4. Explain how to build consistency when the habit depends on motivation: the '5-minute rule' for yoga (begin and decide after 5 minutes whether to continue or stop).

<output_format>
- What 20 minutes achieves: 1 paragraph (honest and specific)
- Structure: a time-blocked format showing each phase
- Three sequences: a table with goal, postures listed, and 2-sentence notes
- Consistency technique: 1 paragraph
- Tone: practical and grounded; avoids spiritual framing unless specifically relevant to the goal
