Upward Salute

The opening inhale of every Sun Salutation. Arms sweep overhead, slight back-bend through the upper spine.

The lesson

  1. 01

    Sweep the arms overhead

    From standing, arms out to the sides and up, palms touching or shoulder-width apart.

  2. 02

    The bend lives upstairs

    Reach through your fingertips, lift your chest, and let the arch happen in your upper back — not by crunching your lower back.

  3. 03

    Shoulders slide down

    Reach up without shrugging toward your ears. Gaze forward, or up to your thumbs if your neck is happy there.
