Take care with: wrists
If you have trouble with your wrists, check with a doctor or physio first. In the app we automatically swap this exercise for a gentler one when you report it.
Sun salutation
How to
- 1
Start in Mountain pose. Inhale your arms overhead, then exhale and fold forward towards the floor.
- 2
Inhale to a flat-back halfway lift, then exhale as you step back to plank and lower slowly to the floor.
- 3
Inhale up into Cobra or Upward dog, then exhale and push your hips back into Downward dog.
- 4
Take five calm breaths in Downward dog.
- 5
Step your feet to your hands, inhale to stand with your arms overhead and exhale your hands to your chest. Keep flowing for the whole block.
Tips
Easier version: drop your knees when lowering from plank and do a low Cobra instead of Upward dog.
