Yep!!

[@brittanycox5614]

How many times should you do this to find benefit in the practice?

[@youaligned]

Any amount is beneficial. The more the merrier!

[@Thuandepchai]

How long should I hold each pose?

[@youaligned]

The sun salutation is a flow based practice so you should only be holding the poses for a breath.

You are missing some steps

[@youaligned]

Hi! This is a common version of Sun A. Sun B has more steps - that might be what you’re referring to?

@@youaligned you're right!
