Sun salutation is not specifically a yoga posture, but instead is a series of movements which are typically done at the start of any yoga session, and are designed to increase flexibility and prepare the body for exercise. To perform sun salutations, start by standing tall in the center of your exercise mat with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Let your arms relax by your sides, and stretch your head towards the sky. Take a deep breath, and as you do so, create an arc with your arm, raising them over your head. As you exhale your breath, slowly bend from the waist, and drop your arms to the ground.
