A complete stretching sequence?

I have a basic routine which I do with kettlebells which works lots of muscles across my whole body. Then afterwards I do a range of stretches which don't really reach as many muscles. What I would love is if there was a sort of stretching routine I could do which would be more of a whole-body thing, like my workout.

I'm thinking of the 'sun salutation' routine from yoga - it's a sequence you memorise, it's fluid like a dance with one movement leading into the next and it involves the whole body. Because it can be memorised like a routine it would be easier to do in my post exercise mindless fog. Unfortunately I find that the sun salutation doesn't really stretch a sufficient range of muscles strongly enough - but maybe I'm not doing it right?

I don't know if I'm looking for something which just isn't out there but I would welcome any suggestions.
