Sun Salutation A: Standing Forward Bend

  • After five breaths in Mountain pose, you're ready to flow through three Sun Salutation As.
  • From Mountain Pose, inhale and reach your arms straight above you.
  • As you exhale, engage your abs and fold forward with a straight back. Tuck your chin in toward your chest, relax your shoulders, and extend the crown of the head toward the floor to create a long spine. Shift weight forward into your toes, straightening the legs as much as possible. If you can, place your hands on the ground, fingertips lining up with the toes. If that's too difficult, rest your hands on your thighs, shins, or ankles.
