Salute the Sun

As we usher in summer, let’s embrace the warm months with a classic, energetic flow. Join us for Salute the Sun this June!

Sun Salutations, or Surya Namaskar, is a traditional sequence that strengthens and stretches the entire body. In this series, you will familiarize yourself with the poses so that you can practice the variations of Surya Namaskar with ease.

Vinyasa
50 min | Easy

What you’ll need

  • 2 Yoga blocks, firm cushions, or books

  • Yoga strap, scarf, towel, or cloth belt

Benefits

Reduce Joint Stiffness

Vinyasa can improve the body’s range of motion. It actively increases the ability to bend and straighten joints to reduce injury and enhance mobility.

Circulate Vital Energy

By linking the breath with movement, energy is able to flow freely. Each inhale draws in nourishment while each exhale removes blockages and toxins.

Promotes Mental Clarity

As the sequence progresses from pose to pose, vinyasa fosters concentration on the mat which is a transferable practice for life off the mat.

Limitations

Do not register for class if you have one or more of the following health conditions or symptoms:

  • dizziness

  • menstrual periods

  • recent surgery

Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. If you receive medical clearance, inform the instructor at the start of class and practice modifications with props.
