What is a Sun Salutation? It is a series of breath-based yoga asanas (poses) in a continuous flowing sequence.

Why this day? As we move between the equinox and solstice, we embrace a unique moment of balance, harnessing the energy of the upcoming eclipse to amplify our intentions for renewal and transformation.
