Saluting the Sun - Welcoming Spring

Spring is upon us and Earth Day is before us! It is a beautiful time of year to get outside and move the body. A walking meditation is easy when the sun is warm, the flowers are budding and the city is more alive.

Spring is like a re-birth and is a joyful time to welcome fitness back into our daily lives. Why not learn how to properly salute our sun? Sun Salutations consists of a series of poses linked to our breath. It's a flow that builds heat, nourishes our body and provides us with overall strength and endurance. When done correctly, Sun Salutations are very demanding... and rewarding!

Our Sun Salutations begin in Mountain. From here, Inhale: Upward Salute. Exhale: Forward Fold. Inhale: Lunge. Exhale: Downward Facing Dog. Inhale: Plank. Exhale: Chaturanga. Inhale: Upward Facing Dog. Exhale: Downward Facing Dog. Inhale: Lunge. Exhale: Forward Fold. Inhale: Upward Salute. Exhale: Chair. We can repeat the series 2-20 times, depending on how we're feeling and how much time is available. Namaste, Emily
