These are the fundamentals of any Vinyasa Yoga practice. Surya Namaskar translates to sun salutations or a salute to the sun.

In this workshop, we will break down a number of the asanas and transitions within Surya Namaskar A (the woo woo burpee) and Surya Namaskar B (the one with chair pose and the warriors). Often in classes you don’t get time to work out the movement in your body that you can do without injury or additional pressure on your body.

We will break down the fundamentals such as chaturangas (the push-ups), upward-facing dog, downward-facing dog, chair pose and warrior 1. We will also cover transitions such as jumping back and forward, as well as where you can include inversions and arm balances.

Leave this workshop with smoother sun salutations and tips for progressions.
