At the same time we perform a balanced breath cycle, matching the cadence of in breath and outbreath to create a flow from one movement to the next.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growth \u2013<\/strong> while the Sun Salutation has various forms, the sequence does not need to\u00a0change with progression. However our performance of the movements can be ever evolving and a constant demonstration of our physiological and psychological presence. This particular Yoga practice is the perfect measure of how we feel and perform on a daily basis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energy \u2013<\/strong> creating a synchronised flow of breath to movement while traveling through all of the body&#8217;s natural ranges is completely energising and the perfect kick start into Spring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try this\u00a0beautiful flowing sequence that uses sun salutation variations and weaves them through the practice.
