"As we sweep our arms up and bow forward, we honor the earth, the heavens, and all of life in between that is nourished by the breath cycle. As we lower our bodies, we connect with the earth. As we rise up from the earth, we stretch through the atmosphere once more, reaching for the sky. As we bring our hands together in Namaste, we gather the space of the heavens back into our heart and breath, acknowledging that our body forms the center point between heaven and earth."
-Christopher Key Chapple, from here.
I have not been consistent with Sun Salutations lately, but I hope to get back into that habit. It has the potential to bring a beautiful energy into the day, with increasing depth as time goes on, as the sequence flows with more ease. The article quoted about is very good for an explanation of Sun Salutations, including a basic sequence outlined in pictures on page two. The same basic sequence is shown here. When I do Sun Salutations, I usually do that one with very few alterations.
