1. Greeting to the sun

To perform the Sun Salutation sequence, stand upright, with your feet together and your hands folded in prayer in front of your chest. Exhale, then inhale while extending your arms upwards. At the same time, bend your torso backwards.

As you exhale, bend forward until your palms rest on the ground, next to your feet. Inhale and extend the left leg back, bending the right knee and lifting the face upwards. Then bring the right foot back, next to the left.

Exhale and place your knees, chest and forehead on the ground, without touching the floor with your belly. Inhale and lift your torso by extending your arms, looking up. At that point, exhale by bringing your toes forward and pushing your buttocks back and your heels and head down.

Breathing in, take your left foot in your hands, keeping your right leg stretched back, with the knee resting on the ground. Exhale and bring the right leg close to the left and the pelvis upwards. Inhale bringing the arms extended forward, then on the head, flexing the torso backwards with the hands together.

Return to a standing position and exhale. Then repeat the sequence starting with the right leg.

2. Salutation Seal

Performing this position is very simple, but at the same time effective for relaxing and regaining concentration. Just sit cross-legged on the floor, bringing your hands in front of your chest in a prayer position.

At this point, try to clear your mind by focusing on your breathing. Be careful to always keep the spine straight.
