BE Basics: What is a Sun Salutation? | Saturday Feb. 25th | 11:30AM - 1:30PM | With Mel

• WORKSHOP = $45
• RYTs can earn 2 CEU Hours!
• Break down of the Sun Salutation found in Vinyasa Flow classes.
• Whether you're new to yoga or you've been on the mat for years, breaking down the poses into all of their minor elements can deepen your practice and improve your experience.
• Many yoga classes will begin with a series of sun salutations (traditionally called surya namaskar), which are a sequence of  movements that serve to strengthen and lengthen most muscles in the body, while also helping to sync your movement and breath to calm your nervous system.
• Sun Salutations are a microcosm of the asana practice as a whole in that they contain standing postures, forward bends, a backbend, a strength move and an inversion. When done skillfully, they can become hypnotically meditative, as you float from pose to pose to the rhythm of your breath. Learn or polish the poses and breath patterns that make up Surya Namaskar A (Sun Salutation A) as well as the transitions between the poses. In this Pop UP, we’ll take turns demonstrating and practicing as well as learning how to incorporate modifications and variations that work best for your own body.
