Salute To The Sun


Today was a beautiful day and I just couldn't resist dragging my mat out into the garden for my daily practice.
There is something so special about performing the Sun Salutation series under an early morning sun.
And nothing quite beats the final relaxation in Savasana with the gentle caress of sunlight on the skin.
Today's practice was an abridged version of the Ashtanga Primary Series.
Many of the asanas in this first series seem far beyond my capabilities but what keeps me coming back to this style of practice are the words of the man who created the Ashtanga Primary series, the late Shri K Pattabhi Jois:
"Practice and all is coming."
