Sun Salutations – greet the sun in four different ways

This is a series of four short yoga practices exploring different variations of a Sun Salutation sequence. The Sanskrit name for Sun Salutations is Surya Namaskar, and it is an energising sequence of postures that moves the body in a range of ways.

Part 1 variation is fully seated.

The second part is practised by standing and using a wall.

The third practice includes movement that takes us down onto the floor and back up again. You might benefit from having an exercise mat and blanket to cushion your knees.

The fourth session is a breathing and meditation practice using visualisation. You can sit on a chair to do this.

You might try some or all of the practices. Released weekly.

Day 1 is 10 minutes of gentle full-body mobility (top-to-toe stuff!). You can do this session standing or seated! It's a great one to start the day or squeeze in even if you don't feel like a more challenging session but would still like to move a little.

This practice is fully seated. You will need a sturdy dining-room type chair, preferably without arms. We explore finding a neutral spine through seated a seated Mountain Pose, linking movement to breath and developing mindful awareness through movement focused on mobilising joints throughout the body. The practice ends with a short meditation.

Something a bit different, but just awesome! This workout combines footwork, cardio, and some basic self-defense movements to mix up your fitness regime.

Grab yourself a couple of knitting needles, wooden spoons or even dumbbells for some extra intensity! Get those feet moving.

Its a cracker, enjoy!

This is the Final session of the Strength Foundations Programme. Well done for making it this far!! This is the last session and, naturally, the most challenging one of the four.

Good luck, and as always, enjoy!

This short guided meditation uses sounds as a focus for our attention. The practice of noticing and acknowledging thoughts and returning our attention to a point of focus is introduced. Smiling is encouraged!

This practice introduces finding a neutral spine through Mountain Pose. It explores some standing poses in a short sequence of mindful movement and then moves down to the floor for some seated poses. These could also be practiced from a chair. The practice ends with relaxation. You might want to practice near to a wall which you could use to support you in case of wobbles!
