An All-Around Yoga Exercise: 12-Step Salute to the Sun One of the all-around yoga exercises is the 12-step salute to the sun.Exhale slowly and raise your hips until your feet and palms are flat on the floor and your arms and legs are straight in an inverted V position.Do it once or twice when you get up in the morning to help relieve stiffness and invigorate the body.Multiple repetitions at night will help you to relax; insomniacs often find that six to 12 rounds help them fall asleep.Slowly inhale, bend your knees, and if your fingertips aren't outside your feet on the floor, place them there.1.2.3.4.5.7.8.9.10.11.12.
