We establish the physical and mental techniques (vinyasa, sound breathing, drsti and bandhas) that continue throughout the whole practice. The sun salutations are a simple and safe series of poses that heat up the body and create a sweat that starts the purification process. The heat keeps the body warm, making it safe to move through new asanas.
