Chair Yoga Sun Salutation A also known as Suryanamaskar A is done in a few variations of the moon salutations in a chair. Class is intended to meet all abilities with multiple versions of poses throughout the sequence for any level of practice.

Surya means “sun” in sanskrit. The Sun salutations honor the light that illuminates from within creating a fire that heats up the body and enlivens prana (life force energy).

We integrate the Sun salutations, aka, Suraya A, to heat up our bodies and move this prana to empower our unique abilities.

Poses:

Prayer

Arms up (variations)

Forward Bend (variations for dizziness)

Lunges (variations)

Mountain pose

Cat / Cow (rounding the spine aka extension and flexión)
