Hi Robyn
It’s not necessary to do anything in particular! 😉
However you may want to question why you asked whether you should omit Pranayama and say, not Awkward! 😆
Actually I find that Pranayama is THE thing that will bring me focus even just done at any time during the day. I find it to be an extremely grounding exercise. In fact just try this: Decide which poses you will do, say the poses up to Standing Bow. One day do them with Pranayama and another day do them without. And also try the difference between getting up and ‘doing’ Standing Head to Knee and nothing else and another time ‘doing’ Pranayama. See what ‘works’ for you.
I do think you’ll feel a difference in your ability to find your present state more easily. And since that’s what you’re ultimately after, I say, go with it! It’s a great way to focus on the breath and tuning into yourself quickly and easily. The combination of breathwork and complex movements make this happen quite efficiently.
Namaste
