Aqua Yoga Sun Salutation Flow - Simple Cues

Aqua Yoga Sun Salutation Flow - Simple Cues This video contains a demonstration of how a sun salutation type flow can be practiced in the water. Not much detail is provided in this version, so you’ll pretty much hear a steady stream of fairly plain cues (i.e., “inhale - raise the arms up, high lunge, exhale - lower arms and jump switch the legs to lunge other side”). Check out my previous video “Sun Salutation - Movements Described in Detail” if you’re still new to the practice so that you can have a better understanding of how different parts of the body are being positioned in the water with respect to each other and to the pool wall throughout the flow. You’ll want to be by the pool wall for this practice. This is a very accessible sun salutation type flow. The goal is to create awakening throughout the body by moving large muscle groups. Water provides an environment where lightness can be experienced in the body, but the student still needs to cultivate steadiness, stability and a degree of groundedness so that the postures have integrity and don’t get lost in the shifting and fluidity of water movement. Many students are delighted how accessible a lunge can be, but are also surprised to discover the amount of awareness and control they need to maintain for a well established lunge in the water environment. Water is a funny friend like that. The sequence is as follows: 1) Begin in mountain pose with hands in prayer in front of the heart 2) Inhale sweep the arms open through the water 3) Exhale send the arms towards the pool wall and create plank pose with hands against the wall 4) Inhale sweep the right arm open and turn the body facing right to create side plank 5) Exhale send the right arm back towards the pool wall returning to plank 6) Inhale sweep the left arm open and turn the body facing left for side plank 7) Exhale send the left arm and hand back to the pool wall for plank 8) Inhale pause in plank 9) Exhale jump to chair 10) Inhale raise the arms up in chair pose 11) Exhale lower the arms and send the left foot back to create extension in the left leg for lunge 12) Inhale raise the arms up in lunge 13) Exhale lower the arms and jump switch the legs for lunge on the other side 14) Inhale raise the arms up in lunge with left foot forwad 15) Exhale step the right foot forward alongside the left for chair 16) Inhale jump back to plank pose or high push-up 17) Exhale slide the hands down the pool wall and bend the elbows for low push-up 18) Inhale draw the chest forward and lift the top of the sternum up for back bend 19) Exhale to downward facing (water) dog 20) Inhale rise back up to mountain pose 21) Exhale hands back in prayer in front of the heart 22) Repeat, going back to (2) as often as you like Thanks for watching.
