This is absolutely beautiful. Surya (sun) namaskara (salutation) is a sequence practiced in all levels of yoga that warms up the body, awakens energy centers, and well, salutes the sun. This combination with ballet and a partner is utterly gorgeous; their individual salutations, movements of ease and grace, and connection throughout make this really special. I especially love how her arms are around him for most of the combination.

With the improvisational accompaniment of pianist Jonah Rank. ]
