sun Cued
If you usually don't do sun salutations, this is how Sun Salutation A is usually cued:
Stand at the top of the mat. Root down through the feet. Grow tall through the crown of the head. Take a big inhale and stretch the arms up over head. On the exhale, swan dive down towards your toes. Inhale, flat back extension -- the hands come to the shins or fingertips to the floor and the spine is long. Exhale, forward fold, the chest pulls towards the thighs. Bring the hands to the mat and step back for plank pose. (Drop down on the knees here if necessary). Take an inhale to get set up. On the exhale, lower down halfway -- cataranga dandasana. Inhale, upward facing down. Exhale back, downward facing dog. Inhale, stretch back. Exhale, walk or jump to the top of the mat. Inhale, flat back extension, decompress the spine. Exhale, forward fold. Inhale, rise and float both arms up over head. The palms land in front of the chest, in front of the heart.
Sun Salutation B would be very similar, adding warrior I:

Inhale, upward facing down. Exhale back, downward facing dog. Inhale, lift the right leg, three legged dog. Exhale, step the right leg between the hands. The back left foot spins flat. Inhale, rise up, warrior I. Exhale, plant the palms, step back for plank. Take an inhale to get organized. Exhale lower down cataranga. Inhale, upward facing dog, exhale back, downward facing dog. Inhale, lift the left leg, three legged dog. Exhale, step the left foot between the hands. The back right foot spins flat. Inhale, rise up, warrior I. Exhale, step back for plank. Take an inhlae to get set, exhale lower down half way. Inhale through to up dog. Exhale back, downward facing dog. Inhale, press back. Exhale, walk or jump to the top of the mat. Inhale, flat back extension, decompress the spine. Exhale, forward fold. Inhale, rise and float both arms up over head. The palms land in front of the chest, in front of the heart.
