In this video from the Berklee Online course Wellness for Artists: Music, Movement, and Mindfulness, instructor Jennifer Caraluzzi teaches you some variations of Sun Salutation, a series of specific yoga movements. For this video, Caraluzzi invited Professor Craig Juricka to demonstrate the same yoga poses in two different bodies, highlighting how they can look and feel different to everybody. For the Sun Salutation, you can start in a comfortable seat, breathing, and softening the muscles of your body. Then, you can move on to the “table top” position and start doing some “cat cows.” Push backward, entering into a “child’s pose,” where you can relax and take a couple of breaths. Then, move to the “table top” position again to transition to a “downward-facing dog” and stay there for a few breaths. On the “exhale” make your way to the top of the mat, towards a forward fold and, on your “inhale,” transition to “mountain pose.” For this series, use your exhale to forward fold again and an inhale to “halfway lift.” After your last “forward fold,” transition into a plank, then down to the belly, into a “baby cobra,” lifting your head and chest from the ground and looking forward. Use your inhale to look up and your exhale to look down. From “cobra,” transition to “downward-dog” to “mountain pose” to “Warrior I.” Caraluzzi explains that you can repeat this sequence as many times as you want, and then go back to a comfortable position or “corpse pose” to finish with deep breaths.
