Sun Saluations for the Scoli-Yogi!

These are a variation of the Satyananda sun salutations that I devised. Because scoliosis (and upper back scoliosis in particular) can have a knock on effect on shoulder rotation and back mobility the chaturanga/upward dog or astangasana/cobra versions of sun salutations were always virtually impossible for me to practice properly so I originally devised these for my home practice. After some time teaching yoga therapy I found a lot of people came to me with shoulder issues due to too many chaturangas, so now I teach these as a matter of course.

Enjoy!
