10-Minute Beginner Sun Salutation
The sun salutation is the single most complete yoga movement sequence — worth learning well and returning to daily.
10 min · Kit: Nothing
The session
- 13 min: Learn each pose individually (mountain, forward fold, plank, cobra, downward dog)
- 24 min: Link poses with breath — 3 full rounds slowly
- 33 min: 2 rounds at normal flow pace
Worth knowing
- Sun salutation is a complete mini-workout — strength (plank, chaturanga), flexibility (forward fold), and balance (mountain)
- Beginners: drop the knees in plank and use cobra instead of upward dog
- Daily sun salutations are a cornerstone practice for many lifelong yoga practitioners
