Sun Salutation

Good morning!

This basic, meditative routine of asanas (poses) helps to awaken and strengthen your body, mind and spirit in an easy, repetitive flow. You can spend a few minutes or quarter of an hour each day depending on your level of fitness, working up to 12 rounds (or 144 asanas). This routine can become a personal ritual in which you express gratitude at the start of a new day. 

A note on breathing: the most commonly used breathing in yoga is ujjayi pranayama (pranayama is the expansion of life force energy using breath control exercises). Keeping your mouth closed, breathe in and out through your throat making a ‘snoring’ sound. Control the breath with your diaphragm. Each breath should be long, slow and deep. The rule of thumb in exercise is also to breathe in during muscle lengthening and to breathe out with concentric muscle motion.
