I appreciate the explanations/reasons for the different transitions and poses. I have been searching for a break down of the sun salutations - I really like the up dog explanation with setting knees down first. Thanks, very helpful
Thank you Matt. My background is in Iyengar and Vinyasakrama but I am exploring Ashtanga with a favorite teacher and these alignment tips seem very useful. I like the softness of the the arms, legs and shoulders. also the breath from hands to feet in down-dog are very instinctive to me. Namaste!
