Surya Namaskara A, vinyasa one, correct shoulder position (left) and incorrect shoulder position (right)

The ideal alignment in Samasthiti is reached when all the major joints of the body — ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders — align one above the other, creating a vertical line that also passes through the ears. This establishes a posture with the least resistance to the forces of gravity, making effortless standing a possibility. Samasthiti is the blueprint for all other postures. Allow lightness and balance to be your guide.
