Sun Salutation’s for me involves (One move per breath)
- Arms up
- swan dive down to forward bend
- lift up the heart then back down
- Right foot back to runner stretch
- left foot back to plank
- lower to the floor
- Up to Sphinx, cobra or up dog
- Up to downward dog
- Right foot forward to runners stretch
- Left foot forward to forward bend
- Sweep back up
- Repeat with left foot back/forward first.
Depending on how I feel, I might include crescent moon on both side or a gentle backbend before swan diving down.
Moon Salutations:
- Runner stretch on one side
- Up into Triangle
- Warrior I
- Warrior II
- Goddess Squat
- Reverse order on the other side.
I typically hold each pose for 5-10 breathes.
That sounds pretty stretchy…and tiring! 🙂

thanks for the blog comment to bring me here…
i really appreciate that you put moon salutations in here. much less often used, but really nice. ive heard it said that while sun salutations move in a forward line, moon salutations move in a circle. not sure what that means metaphysically, but i like the distinction 🙂
