One of the most revered sequences in yoga is the Sun Salutation. This flowing series of poses, often used as a warm-up or a complete practice on its own, is designed to build energy, strength, and flexibility, calm the mind, and awaken the spirit.
How to Do Sun Salutation
Sun Salutation is typically composed of 12 continuous poses , designed to flow in a continuous, smooth sequence. These poses work in harmony to warm up the body, open up energy channels, and synchronize breath with movement. Let’s break down each pose in the traditional sequence:
1. Mountain Pose (Tadasana): Stand tall with feet together, hands at the heart center, and take a moment to ground yourself.
2. Raised Arms Pose (Urdhva Hastasana): Inhale, raise your arms overhead, and gently arch your back.
3. Forward Fold (Uttanasana): Exhale, hinge at your hips, and fold forward, placing your hands on the floor beside your feet.
