This series of yoga poses is known as a sun salutation. For best results, do
them three to five times in a row, at least four times a week. Move from one pose into the next. Inhale as you stretch your body, and exhale as you bend. Breathing brings fresh oxygen to your muscles and allows you to move further into a pose.
