Rise and Shine Yoga

Sun Salutations moves the body in all directions, it helps to clear the energy pathways. It is a balancing sequence and each movement touches at least one of the chakras. It helps to invigorate the body while creating space. Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, is a series of postures that warms, strengthens, and aligns the entire body. It serves as an all-purpose yoga tool, kind of like a hammer that’s also a saw and a screwdriver, if you can imagine such a thing.
