Sun Salutations

A pose to hold

To greet days gold

Facing sun anew

A stance to move

To meet days grooves

Gratitude renewed

Salutations of sun

What’s only begun

Strengthening pursued

Heart opening one

Good morning to sun

Surrendering brewed

A pose to hold

To greet days gold

Spirit guides true

A stance to move

To meet days grooves

Embodied Joy in YOU

May your day be a prayer in motion

Blessed be.

**The Sun Salutation is a prayer in motion. It allows us to use the body as an instrument of higher awareness, so that we can receive wisdom and knowledge. The ancient yogis taught that each of us replicates the world at large, embodying "rivers, seas, mountains, fields...stars and planets...the sun and moon" (Shiva Samhita, II.1-3). The outer sun, they asserted, is in reality a token of our own "inner sun," which corresponds to our subtle, or spiritual, heart.
