"When life feels chaotic and your mind is spinning, a short yoga flow can help you slow down, breathe, and come back to your center. Rather than the nonstop twists and turns of some sequences, this practice helps you find your rhythm by taking your body through simple, repetitive movement, which offers your mind a place to find stillness. With its various iterations of the classic Sun Salutation A and B, this fluid practice grounds your energy and clears mental clutter."
"These sequences of poses are among my favorite ways to move through a vinyasa class, as they allow you to focus on the feeling and depth of the breath rather than the depth or intensity of the actual poses. This practice isn't about perfection-it's about finding your calm through motion within free spaces in tight schedules when your mind won't stop racing. It's crafted to help you reset simply and quickly, so you can move forward once again with ease."
"Set your feet about hip's-width distance apart and stand tall in Mountain Pose. Roll your shoulders back and down, palms facing forward. Take one full breath here at the beginning of your Half Sun Salutation. Upward Salute With your next inhalation, reach your arms over your head in Upward Salute. Standing Forward Bend On your exhalation, fold forward in Standing Forward Bend. Gently bend your knees for comfort and to allow all 10 fingertips to touch the mat. Let your neck release. Halfway Lift"
Short, repetitive Sun Salutation A and B variations offer a quick way to calm a racing mind and reset energy through breath-centered movement. The sequence emphasizes simple, rhythmic transitions that prioritize the feeling and depth of the breath over intensity or advanced alignment. No props are needed; only a mat and breath are required to perform the flow. The routine moves through Mountain Pose, Upward Salute, Standing Forward Bend, Halfway Lift, and repeated cycles to establish a steady rhythm. The practice uses gentle repetition to create stillness, clear mental clutter, and support quick resets during busy or chaotic days.
