Sun Salutation A Flow

Sun Salutation A (Surya Namaskara A) is the foundation of all sun salutations! This ancient sequence dates back thousands of years and was traditionally practiced at sunrise to honor the sun. It's perfect for building heat in the body and creating a moving meditation. The 12 poses represent the 12 months of the year, connecting us to natural cycles. In Ashtanga yoga, this sequence is practiced exactly the same way every time, building consistency and discipline.
