SUN SALUTATION A: This is one of the most traditional

sequences. It can be done on its own or in combination

with other poses. If done on its own, it is a great way to

start or end the day. If done in combination with other

poses, it is used as a way to warm up the body in prepa-

ration for a longer sequence.

SUN SALUTATION B: Like Sun Salutation A, Sun Salutation

B is a traditional sequence. It can be done alone or in

combination with Sun Salutation A or a variety of poses

to create a longer sequence.

This short little sequence is a way to get from standing poses
back to Down Dog, which is where most of the poses in a
sequence will start and end. There are two versions of a Vin-
yasa: Version One and Version Two.
