SUN SALUTATION - A

This vinyasa (sequence of postures) is performed in a series of flowing movements coordinated with breath. Sun Salutations are often done as a warm-up, and help build strength and increase flexibility!

SURYA NAMASKARA - A	Start on standing position:
	Inhale while bringing arms and head up Exhale into Forward Bend, hands on floor (bend knees if needed) Inhale while extending spine & head up, hands on floor Exhale while jumping back into "Plank" Inhale to Upward Facing-Dog Exhale to Downward Facing-Dog Inhale while jumping forward, keeping hands on floor Exhale back into Forward Bend Inhale back to standing, arms & head up
Note: the only time hands are not touching the floor is during the standing position!

TRIANGLE POSTURE

This vinyasa stretches and relaxes the arms, shoulders, back & legs while stimulating blood flow. It works the muscles of the thighs, calves and hamstrings while the slight twist of the spine works the spinal discs and helps relieve lower back discomforts.
