As we all know, the greeting to the sun is composed of twelve different positions. It has numerous benefits just like the rest of yoga postures. It helps us lose abdominal fat, lose calories and improve flexibility in terms of the spine. The postures for which the sun salutation is composed are:
TADASANA: We start on our feet, with our feet and legs together, while our spine is totally stretched and relaxed. We must inspire and expire with the palms of our hands together and keep them at chest level, pressing gently. You must bring the chin to the chest, so that in this way you can stretch the cervical. Once this is done, we exhale.
URDHVAHASTASANA: we have to get inspiration to fill our lungs well while we stretch our arms up and gently arch backwards. You should keep the palms of your hands together at all times and be careful not to arch your back too much.
UTTANASANA: when we exhale we release all the air, while we stretch the body forward, trying to place the hands next to the feet. We must not force, but whoever gets there, great and who does not, nothing happens.
ARDHAUTTANASANA: We inhale looking forward, while we raise the torso up to the middle. We must keep our back straight at all times.
CHATURANGA: keep the spine and legs in a straight line at all times, supporting our weight on the hands and feet. You have to keep the abdomen firm and hold the air for about 2 seconds.
URDHVAMUKHASVANASANA: we will stretch our arms while we inhale and gently arch our backs, bringing the head up. We must be careful when arching the back.
ADHOMUHASVANASANA: While we take our whole body back we will exhale while we support the soles of the feet on the ground. You have to bend your back, but always keeping it in a position that allows you to be comfortable.
ARDHAUTTANASANA: we should inhale facing forward, while we raise the torso up to the middle. We must keep our back straight at all times.
UTTANASANA: when we go to exhale, we must release all the air, while we stretch the body forward, trying to place the hands next to the feet. We must not force.
URDHVAHASTASANA: we have to stretch our arms up and above our head while we inhale. We will gently bend our back back from the waist. As I told you before, whenever we bend our backs, we must be very careful.
TADASANA:exhale, ending again in the initial posture, the posture of the mountain with the palms of our hands together in our chest.
