Yoga Pose: Sun Salutation

“One of the first poses that I would recommend is actually a series of poses. It’s called a Sun Salutation. And there’s a variety of ways that one can do a Sun Salutation.

“The effects of a Sun Salutation are generally to just get you connected with the feeling of breathing and moving in a coordinated manner. It’s a really good way to begin the process of creating a little internal heat in the body so that what’s needed to be burned away on an emotional or a structural level can begin to be burned away.

“It’s also the place we start our practice most of the time, by setting our foundation and really opening to a sense of a bigger presence – to being held in and supported by something that’s bigger than ourselves - whether that’s your community or your connection to God or nature, or whatever that is for you.”
