Flexibility exercise

Yoga Flow (Sun Salutation)

How to do it

  1. Stand tall at the front of a mat with the feet hip width apart and the arms resting at the sides.
  2. Inhale and sweep the arms overhead, then exhale and hinge at the hips to fold forward toward the floor.
  3. Step or float the feet back into a plank position, keeping the body in one straight line from head to heel.
  4. Lower under control into a low position, then press the chest forward and up with the shoulders drawn away from the ears.
  5. Press back into an inverted V shape, pushing the heels toward the floor and lengthening the spine while breathing steadily.
  6. Step the feet forward to the hands, rise to standing, and sweep the arms overhead to complete one full flow.
