Sun Salutation A is something you'll see towards the beginning of many yoga classes. It's a way to warm-up and get connected with your breath.
– stand with your feet together – engage your thighs – tuck your tailbone in and down – lift up through the top of your head like someone is pulling you up by a string
– sweep your arms up over head – bring them together above your head and rotate your upper arms inwards and towards each other.
– fold forward at your hips – let go of any tension in your neck and arms – option to bend your knees slightly if your hands don’t touch the ground
– press your hands to your shins - lengthen through out spine and engage your shoulders - shift your weight forward
– from plank: shift forward to the ball of your feet - bend your elbows back and hug your ribs with your arms.
– flip to the tops of your feet - lift your thighs off of the floor - pull your shoulders down away from your ears.
– lift your hips up - press your chest towards your thighs - melt your heels towards the floor
