Sun Salutation Flow for Beginners (Free Class)

 
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of yoga! When you’re just beginning your yoga practice, it’s important to take it slow, be safe, and enjoy the journey. Whether this is your very first Sun Salutation, or if you’re still getting acclimated to the Vinyasa yoga practice, this is a great video for beginner yogis.
 
Sun Salutations, or Surya Namaskar in Sanskrit, are the foundation to Vinyasa flows, and we’ll break down each pose in that series. Explore common yoga poses that you see in most Vinyasa yoga classes, and learn alignment techniques to make sure you’re practicing them safely and correctly.
