So today is the 2nd last day and I wanted to re-introduce you to the Gita Style Sun Salutations.
I say re-introduce as I have a "previous life" video which I made.
{It's quite interesting to watch and compare how much I have learnt and changed in my video production}
So today I have a new and "improved" video for you.
Sun salutations are a great way to start the day and I always encourage students to see if they can incorporate 3 rounds first thing in the morning. After your bed stretches, of course ;)
As my teacher always said "if you can't find 5mins to do 3 salutes to the sun, then someone else is running your life."
The great thing about Gita Style Yoga is that it focusses on the endocrine glands in particular. These are the hormone producing glands of the body, and the hormones control all of the functions of the body and how we relate with the world. That is, how we feel, what we think, our digestion, heart rate, metabolism and more.
So, the Salutes are 12 postures in one sequence, making it a mini class for you.
Add all the other practices from previous days and you start to have a decent sized yoga practice for yourself that moves and opens up most of the body.
Do be aware though if you do these first thing that the body is not as flexible, hence it is good to start warming up the body with some lying "bed" stretches at least and always move slowly through the first round.
If you are finding that you are not managing all the transitions smoothly, I have posted a second video with variations where you can get some ideas for how to adjust the sequence until you develop more flexibility and strength.
So, will you find 5mins for you today to work with these?
I hope so ;)
Enjoy & I'll see you here tomorrow for our last day,
Tx
PS: Didn't realise it's our last day tomorrow, you can read why here.
