Three Sun Salutations

The morning sequence half the world knows

Hatha yoga

Three slow rounds of the oldest flow there is: fold, lengthen, press, rise. Enough movement to wake everything, slow enough to stay with the breath the whole way. The body remembers it after a week and asks for it after a month.

1. 1Stand tall, hands together, one full breath
2. 2Fold forward, step back, lower with control
3. 3Sweep the chest up, press back and breathe
4. 4Step forward, rise, repeat three times
