The second set of exercises in the ashtanga system, known as Sun Salutation B, adds the lunging warrior posture to Sun Salutation A. I provide you with instructional cues that will help you to align your positions and at the same time I help you to emphasize creating smooth, dynamic transitions. The idea is to learn to flow with intelligence and awareness through the challenging sequence of positions. I also offer tips for how to establish a proper connection to the ground through your feet, thighs and pelvis in the warrior position. This sound foundation can then form the basis of creating vertical alignment up through your spinal column, shoulders, neck, head and arms.
