Latest Sun Salute:
PENDULUM HIP FLOW This months flow has a lot of hip action. The leg takes many large motions one way then the other which is why it is named Pendulum Hip Flow.

Flowing Triangle to Warrior
September 2008 - Sun Salutation shows a repetitive flow from Triangle pose to Warrior 1 pose.

All of the Surya Namaskara below flow with the breath in continuous movement. At any time you can hold a pose and explore it. This can be done before flowing through the whole Sun Salutation continuously or after doing it continuously a number of times and then flowing once again or at the end of the salutations. One pose may be held or many postures can be held. The secret is to always explore many methods and monitor the response within.

If sun salutations aggravate your lower back it is essential to mildly tilt in the backbends because your whole upper bodies weight falls upon a few discs. It is also important to lift mildly during in the Cobra Flow part. This will make a big difference causing the Sun Salutation to be either beneficial or harmful to your health.

I hope you enjoy these Sun Salutations as much as I did. What a beautiful way to practice spirituality."
