... or Sun Salutation (lit. "salute to the sun"), is a common sequence I do a few minutes after waking up. standing on the mat half groggy with sleep and disoriented I take a few deep breaths with my hands on my rib cages to feel them expand.
breath deeply. ujayi. then into the prayer pose , raised arms pose, standing forward bend, equestrian, four-limbed staff, salute with the eight limbs pose, cobra, downward dog, equestrian, cobra pose, downward dog, standing forward bend, raised arms then back to prayer. exhale.
first few sets. tightness in my shoulders, heaviness of my butt :), strain in my neck.
concentrate on the breath.
i hear Dara, my neighbors bird squawking.
concentrate on the breath.
sweat starts to drip.
i feel the heat in my ribcage.
zoning out, i start to feel oblivious of my surroundings.
5 sets more. no more tightness.
more sweat. almost done.
sweaty and spent, I fold the mat and smell my mom's daing wafting in my nostrils.
bogchi.
peace & light!
