Full Sun Salutation Sequence

by Linda Shelton

How to Begin:

  • Start in Mountain Pose: Inhale, sweeping arm up and above head, arms parallel, palms facing in (2).
  • Exhale, swan dive forward, hinging forward at hips to a Forward Bend (3), legs straight (or slightly bent if needed). With fingertips touching floor, inhale and look forward, elongating spine so it’s straight. Exhale and step back with right foot into Lunge (3).
  • Inhale in the Lunge, lifting arms parallel overhead. Exhale, and bend forward, placing hands on either side of left foot. Inhale and step back with right foot to place feet together to Plank Pose.
  • Exhale, lowering torso to hover above the floor; then inhale, pressing upper torso up off floor into Cobra. Exhale, lowering torso to floor. Inhale, turning toes under, then exhale, lifting hips up in the air into the Downward Facing Dog.
  • Inhale, bringing right leg forward into Lunge. Inhale, bringing the left leg forward so feet are together in Forward Bend. Exhale deeper into bend, releasing head down. Inhale, sweep arms back up in a reverse swan dive to bring to arms overhead.
  • Exhale and release arms to sides to Mountain Pose. Repeat the entire sequence, beginning with the left leg.
