    Yoga with Miranda Part 2 of 4

    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.

    Let me know how you get on!

    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.
