I just read yoganis lesson about time management
http://www.aypsite.com/209.html.
My routine right now is about 35 to 40 minutes with SBP, DM, yoni mudra and rest. When I scan across the practices to come, some day you spend about 75 minutes, twice daily. That is quite a lot. I get up at 5:30 right now and have the feeling that I cannot clear much more time for future practices. I understand that SPB and DM are the core practices. Is there some other hierarchy in the other practices that is recommended?
Asanas
Navi Kriya
Nauli
Forced breathing out (rapid forced breathing out)
Chin Pump
Spinal Bastrika Pranayama
Core Samyama
Yoni Mudra Kumbhaka
Targeted Laser Bastrika
Cosmic Samayama
So basically I have two questions:
Is the order the practices are introduced in the booklets necessarily the order the practices are introduced into one's routine or doesn't it matter (apart from SBP, DM)?
Is there a hierarchy regarding the importance of practices in a busy time schedule (apart from SBP, DM)?

Aside from the core practises of DM and SBP everything in AYP is optional, if you are inclined to do it. The order of the practises isn't fixed either but it is recommended that you start out from the beginning and take it slow. At least that is my understanding of it.
Also:
https://www.aypsite.com/forum/index.php?topic=1771.0 ; the fly wheel effect - the longer you have been practising, the less practise is needed for the same amount of opening occuring.

I would do the practises that your inner guru is pulling you towards. That is the best approach possible in my opinion.

As said above, other than spinal breathing and meditation, the rest are optional. If you are inclined to experiment, you can try extra practices during a long weekend or during your vacation. We incorporate the other practices over a very long period according to our time and energy.

Though the other practices are optional, they speed up purification, right? So it does of course make sense to incorporate them in the long run. However, I wonder how to make up the time to do that.
I added Samyama recently and had to stop it after a few days due to overload. Does it make sense to add another practice instead of Samyama (chin pump for example)? Is it possible that one practice leads less to an overload than another? I guess it depends on the person...

less is more is what I've been told when I was craving for more practises
Samyama is beautiful and works miracles. Did you try releasing the sutra once instead of twice? Or reducing to once a day? I experienced slight overload the first few times as well but adjusted pretty well afterwards.

Just do what you can. Maybe attend a retreat sometime or add a sitting on weekends. There are many ways to enhance purification. And usually such problems solve themselves when we are tuned into the divine flow.
