Modified Sun Salutations for Beginners
Learn how to adapt Sun Salutations A & B to suit your body and your breath.
In this 25-minute tutorial, you’ll be guided through breath-centered variations of Surya Namaskara A and B—the foundational movements of many yoga traditions. You’ll explore accessible options for strength-building, mobility, and nervous system support—without strain or overexertion.
You’ll learn how to:
Skip or simplify postures when needed
Use knee-down variations for stability and ease
Choose cobra instead of upward-facing dog
Move in rhythm with your breath, not against it
This practice is perfect for:
Beginners and brand-new students
Those returning to practice after time away
Anyone looking to build confidence in vinyasa transitions
A core part of the Breath-Centered Foundations Series, this tutorial supports a sustainable and responsive approach to movement.
Start where you are. Let your breath lead.
