How and when do you practice?

Steve asked a question about this in a comment to the previous but one post.

What time does everyone tend to practice?

Do you include pranayama, meditation?

If so, how do you fit that in/ Do you practice pranayama directly after you asana practice, before or do you practice it later in the day, separately.

Same for meditation, before or after practice or not at all?

If you do practice pranayama or meditation or perhaps pratyahara, what form(at) does it take, how long.

Feel free to comment on this, as a little sketch or in more detail.

Just started to think how a questionnaire might look and got carried away. I've based it on roughly on the yoga sutras.

Not sure how one might use such a thing, for our own private use perhaps, something we might post on a blog if you have one or respond to in comments, anonymously perhaps to avoid ego issues, whether here or through email which I could then post if you so wished.

Would it be interesting, useful, I'm really not sure.

And perhaps it's too long, could be used as a framework of sample questions, some you might feel like answering, others not.

On reflection I think this might work best, if at all, as something mainly private so I've added a final group of questions called 'Dates' might be interesting to run through this once or twice a year to see how our practice, changes, grows, falls off etc. Although a few that anyone feels like making public might be useful and aid our own reflection.

And some links to a couple of bloggers who have tried it out.
