13 Sun Salutations a day...

I just found out about something really cool, and had to share it. Apparently, there is a yoga challenge beginning tomorrow which involves doing 13 sun salutations per day until the end of the month. My local yoga studio sent me an email about it, and linked me to the group's website
Whether you've never done yoga before, or are a long-time practitioner like myself, this challenge is a great way to introduce you, or refresh your practice (and mine needs some refreshing lately!).The sun salutations are a sequence of about ten simple poses which can be done as slowly or quickly as you like. Although they are called "sun" salutations, this sequence can also be done in the evening-although it is a great way to wake your body up first thing in the morning. This video shows the most simple version, but there are lots of variations-the most important thing in yoga is to do what feels right to you.
I am definitely going to give this challenge a try, since I have been trying to get back into practicing yoga every day. Hopefully, this will carry over into the following month as well!
If anyone else is up for doing this, post a comment!
Happy yoga practice!
Namaste
