As I rise to greet the sun, may you, the Creator of the Heavens and Earth, provide grace and love just as the sun provides light and warmth.

Stand up and take a deep breath in. As you breathe in, raise your hands up over your head in a yoga Sun Salutation pose. [Step-by-step how-to just below ⬇️]. Acknowledge the power of the sun — the light and warmth it provides and the grace for your body and the earth.

This is referred to as the Upward Salute, which seems fitting as you are saluting the sun that is above you.

Inhale as you raise your hands up over your head and arch your back. You will find that you are leaning back slightly. This is good. Bring your palms together.

Lift your eyes up to your thumbs.

Exhale and allow your body to fold forward at the waist as you thank God for creating the luscious benefits of the sun.
