on my mat: saluting the sun

One of my favorite things about planning a class is Sun Salutations; here is what I am loving right now:

- Beginning standing in Mountain at the front of your mat

- Inhale, sweeping the arms overhead, gazing at the thumbs

- Exhale, diving over the legs

- Inhale, Lengthening the spine

- Exhale, planting the hands and jumping to Down Dog

- Dropping both knees & inhaling to Cow

- Exhale, Lowering chest & chin

- Inhale, Baby Cobra

- Exhale, Child's Pose to Downward Facing Dog

- Inhale to Plank

- Exhale Chaturanga or Knees-Chest-Chin

- Inhale to Upward Facing Dog or Cobra

- Exhale to Downward Facing Dog; Stay for 5 Breaths

- Exhale, deeply bending the knees & hopping or stepping forward

- Inhale, Lengthen the Spine

- Exhale, Fold

- Inhale, Reversing your swan dive and returning to Mountain

- Repeat x3
