I am noticing that my orientation spins about 10 degrees toward the left per sun salutation cycle. Anyone ever have this happen, and any guesses as to why? Is there a remedy to change this?

    Why? >>
    your body, not unlike 95% of bodies, favors one side. One side is stronger. So there's a pull to the strong side. Ergo> imbalance.

    To change? >
    take control, consciously compensating for the weaker side by giving it more work to do, and ever so slightly relax effort at the stronger side. this means observing your movements ... studying what happens.

    Most people do this anyway subconsciously. You need to do it on purpose. The result of this task is creating balance.
