If I find I do not have enough time for a complete asana practice, I will do sun salutations to help loosen myself up and prepare for the day. Again, the series I offer is not the only one out there. It is not better or worse than any other out there. It's just the one I was taught. Heels and big toes touching if possible, with the weight evenly distributed along both feet.
Arms are at the side of the body, with hands relaxed.
The spine is straight, but not rigid, stretching up toward the sky. The chin is parallel with the ground, eyes looking straight ahead. As you exhale, bring your hands together in prayer position. Inhale and stretch your arms up and back. Arching from the back, reach the arms to the back, as you push your your hips forward.
