Salute the sun.


Yoga is a great way to start your day. Roll out your mat in the morning and "Salute the sun".

“I understand, I see, I speak, I love, I do, I feel, I am”  

1: Begin in Mountain – hands clasped together and placed tightly under your chin
2: Raise hands overhead, press pubic bone forward, tighten buttocks and open chest – inhale
3: Forward Fold – tailbone up, hands next to feet – exhale
4: Right foot back to Lunge – press heel of back foot, lengthen spine – inhale
5: Bring left foot back to Plank positions, long spine – hold breath in
6: Drag knees, chin and chest to floor – exhale
7: Sweep forward to Cobra – inhale
8:  Lift tailbone to Downward Dog – exhale
9: Right foot forward to Lunge – inhale
10: Left foot forward to Forward Fold – exhale
11: Lengthen spine, reaching out and up – press pelvic bone forward, opening chest – inhale
12: Exhale and release back to Mountain
Happy FRIDAY!
