Welcome!
I'm concerend, because 90 to 120 mins of asana plus 40 to 60 minutes of AYP is a time commitment not sustainable in the long term. At some point you're going to develop another interest, fall in love, get a demanding job, grow bored, etc, and you'll start dropping things. Which is fine for the asana.....but not for the AYP. AYP is a looooong term thing. We aim to make it a bedrock habit in our life, like tooth brushing. And a 3 hour package of practices can never be bedrock, unless you're living in a mountaintop monastary or something (and never ever leaving the monastary!).
So if you can mentally make a division: consider the asana to be stuff you're "into" right now (and may be "into" for a long while more!). But consider AYP to be something you do like clockwork no matter what, that'd be fine. But I'd caution you to keep your AYP practice basic. Meditation and spinal breathing. Don't take on lots of other practices. Don't get too ambitious, in terms of time. Because at some point you'll get that job or fall in love or something, and you need to bring AYP along no matter what (you'll agree with me on this as soon as you start on it!), and if it starts expanding too much, it might be a weight you'll eventually drop. Keep it sustainable.
People told me this for years, and I nodded sagely and totally ignored them. Don't make my mistake. A little practice, continued faithfully over the long term, is worth vastly vastly vastly more than a lot of practice done in spurts now and then. Please take this to heart. Your happiness depends on it.
Oh, and if you do start AYP, I'd suggest you drop the bastrika and sitali. Do as much asana as you'd like (I do a lot, too), but on the interior stuff, you really don't want to mix-and-match. If you want to see more rationale on this, let me know and I'll dig up some old discussion of the topic. If you don't like AYP, you can always go back. But you'll like it, I think!
