Sun Salutation
Surya Namasakara

There are as many variations of the Sun Salutation as there are different schools of yoga. Traditionally the sun salutation, as it says, is to honour the sun, the life force energy that brings life to earth.
Eventually when practice becomes more fluent, the breath will guide the movements. There will be no separation between poses, no pause between breaths, only continuous movement. Like the waves of the ocean that do not distinguish between the height of low of a wave but becomes one continuous wave of the ocean. The mind held in mindfullness is the one that brings us to the space of no separation.
