Yoga – Salute to the Sun
Salute to the Sun is the most dynamic (possibly the only dynamic yoga exercise, depending on the style of yoga you follow) exercise and the most famous one – it activates every muscle and organ in the body and provides a stretch that runs from head to heels.
- Stand with your feet together and palms together in front of the chest.
- Breathe in deeply as you raise your arms high, keeping your hands together and bend backwards from the waist.
- Exhale slowly as you bend forwards, placing your hands flat on the floor at the sides of your feet.
- While inhaling, stretch your left leg back so it rests on the knee and toes. Simultaneously bend the right knee and raise your head to look up.
- Holding your breath, bring your right foot back level your left foot. Your body should now make a straight line, just like a push up position, supported on your hands and toes.
- Begin lowering your knees, chest and your forehead to the floor, exhaling as you do this. Try to keep your stomach and pelvis off the ground.
- As you are breathing in, raise your upper body by straightening your arms and leaving your legs on the ground. Look up.
- Exhale and curl your toes under and then push your backside upwards and back. Press your heels and head down towards the floor.
- While inhaling, bring your left foot forward beneath your chest. Your right leg should be extended backwards with the knee still resting on the floor.
- Breathe out as you bring your right leg alongside the left. Raise your buttocks, placing your face close to your legs.
- Breathe in as you straighten up, extending your arms up, hands together then arch yourself backwards.
- Return to your standing position and exhale. Repeat the sequence leading with your right leg so the stretching action is balanced on both sides of the body.
