It's really a video not an article. . . . And it is the captured video of one Salute sequence originating with one side.

Based in household yoga practices of more than 40 years, Jeff’s yoga work will include group sessions, and additional content not focused exclusively on posture. That additional content will include 9 Minutes or LESS, and will include THE PRANA PROJECT. Jeff will share therapeutic, maintenance, and training that alternate between the Playful (Lila) and the Heroic (Vira). Look for an occasional Book Review, Interview, Creative Adventure, or Personal Note in realms practical and imaginative.

Tuesday Livestream WakeUp With Yoga
The morning wake up is here for you —live streaming every Monday through Saturday, 6:30 am Central Time. Free.
In fifteen minutes we gently wake the spine, the breath, and the attention. In addition, we wake the lymphatic system, its plumbing system, and thus metabolic activation. You signal your body to function in all its systems. So with our opening series, you can enter your day better prepared— balanced, aligned, strong, receptive, and ready for action. We aim for presence, our attention dynamically relaxed and responsive.
The second fifteen minutes is set aside for paid supporters of this channel. We go deeper, we go more specific, and you can access more content.
Daily wake up concludes with our random selection from the yoga literature of poets, swamis, yogis, pandits, teachers, and translations of ancient texts. For me, it is like our “yoga fortune cookie.”
Every session is recorded, so you can access any time of the day. To join us live every morning is to awaken the full measure of benefits.
For now we are on two platforms, LOCALS and RUMBLE. The past week they have shifted the backend interface, so thanks for being patient as I get up to speed on their new settings and tech details .
Please like and subscribe, join us daily, and share with your friends.
See you soon. yrs in yoga,

Surya Namaskar / Salute to the Sun variation
This is a video of the left side initiating movement in a Salute to the Sun sequence.
Breath is first. It activates stability and sensation, strength, balance, and an active but receptive mind. Then, move.

I. A.) 9.) Laced fingers behind your back
Congratulations! You are about to complete the first chapter and the first series of one minute videos.
There are several positions with inter-laced fingers. Do this one first and breathe nine deep breaths. If you cannot do this, nevermind. And accept the completion of the first chapter! You are prepared to go on to Chapter II which is the first sequence for Breath.
We will come back to Laced Fingers again in a subsequent chapter.
I will add specific series for laced fingers witih arm movement in future uploads. Every position has many variations. Every position begins with breath, stability, and wholeness. In every position we set our intention and move, guided by breath. The work is an effortless effort that confronts pain and learns.
This video completes the initial series of nine short videos to awaken the upper body.

I. A.) 8.) Head hinges and circles
From a standing upright position, maintain stable and unmoving shoulders as best you can.
Isolate the head’s movement with a nod forward and back. Hinge the head forward and back. Inhale back, exhale forward. Make at least three reps of nodding “yes.”
Return to center. Turn the whole head right and then left. Turn the chin and forehead equally. Turn your eyes deeply back, too. First breath is to exhale over your shoulder. Make at least three reps of “no.”
Return to center. Tilt the head to one side. Pretend you could lift the ear up into the sky. Stay there and breathe. Feel the dilation in that side fo the neck. Feel the compression on the opposite side. Take three breaths on each side. Make three reps of “maybe.”
Return to center and make a circle with the top of your head. Turn the head three times to the right, then reverse three times. Every circle is a breath.

“Stop Chasing Pain”
I like this guy’s work online. He’s been around for a while and speaks so plainly about the body’s maps, functions, that you’re sure to like him, too.
