How do you integrate related practices into your practice? (Pranayama, shatkarmas, seated meditation, vedic chanting, etc)

Hello all 👋

In the last couple of years I've expanded my practice a bit; started attending kirtans, done some pranayama and vedic chanting lessons, I'm developing a daily seated meditation practice and quite enjoy trataka and some "body scanning" techniques.

I know people often put pranayama and seated meditation before shavansana - but I find if I sit for more than 15 minutes or so, shavansana feels a bit redundant? Like the sit feels like a good way to end the practice.

And for those who chant or do japa meditation - how do you work that into your asana practice? Or do you keep it completely separate? And other shatkarmas such as trataka or nauli? Or is it asking a bit much to fit all of that into a single practice?

Thanks
