Sun Salutation A

Surya Namaskar A

Sequences Beginner

Sun Salutation A (Surya Namaskar A) is a beginner sequence, not a single pose. Warms body, links breath and movement.

The sequence, step by step

The classic vinyasa warm-up, one breath per movement. Link breath to movement: inhale reach, exhale fold, flow through plank, updog, downdog.

~~Inhale~~ ~~Exhale~~ ~~Hold for breaths~~

11 steps. Every pose links to its own page, and Cue drops the whole chain into a class as one section.
