Are you currently at home due to coronavirus restrictions? How are you coping? Here in Sydney, Australia lockdown we’re about to embark on our ninth week with another four weeks after that. This post describes some of the things that I’ve found have helped me during the current lockdown.

Practice Point: Salute to the Sun

Looking for a yoga practice to work the entire body? ‘Surya namaskara’, the salute to the sun, is a sequence of postures that is considered a complete yoga practice or sadhana. The sequence stretches and tones the entire body, stimulates the body’s systems, and calms and focuses the mind.

The variation described in this post includes postures that can be practised from the floor or the chair. Explore the different postures and create a sun salutation just for you.

Practice Point: Cobra (and Sphinx)

How is your posture? Do you feel a little rounded in the back? Tight around the chest? Tired?

Cobra and sphinx are back bending poses that can help improve your posture by strengthening your back and opening through the chest. Bonus! Back bends can also stimulate digestion and energise the body.
