Half Sun Salutations | Sun Salutations A | Sun Salutations B

A ‘Half-Half Sun Salutation’ is just as the name implies, which is half, and then half again of the full sequence of ‘Sun Salutation A’ that is all done at the front of your mat before you step back or jump back. I suppose we could call this - One-Quarter Sun Salutation. This too, just like the 'Half Sun Salutation’ is often used as a preparatory sequence to begin warming the body and composing the mind for the longer Sun Salutation A sequence. You might even start your practice with Half-Half Sun A’s, working your way up to Half Sun A’s, and then arriving at the Sun Salutation A full sequence.

You will begin and end Half-Half Sun Salutation the exact same way, only in the middle you might take 3 to 5 folds up and down before rising back to Tadasana.

It is a perfect way to get your groovy going for your home practice session. This is a perfect Light and easy flow that will root and stretch your entire back body and front body, and will give you that release of energy and burst of energy that you may be looking for at the start of the time.
