SHINING A LIGHT ON SUN SALUTATIONS

A Journey through this Sacred Sequence that Bows in Reverence to the Sun

Surya Namaskara is the most iconic yoga āsana sequence and exists in every yoga tradition. Physically it warms the body and stimulates and cleanses the nadis to enhance its health. Spiritually it brings sunlight to the spirit. 

Traditionally, Surya Namaskara was practised as an act of reverence to the sun. The brilliance of the sun is the most powerful symbol of the divine Light that resides within our spiritual, innermost heart (hrydaya). 

This sequence of āsana are highly therapeutic. However, how therapeutic they are relies upon how intelligently we practice them. that their effect on our body is  balanced and harmonious. In Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, they are especially pertinent as are the foundation of every vinyasa that we do.

This workshop shines a therapeutic light on sun salutations, illuminating complex postures like Chaturānga Dandāsana, Urdhva Mukha Svanāsana and Adho Mukha Svanāsana and their transitions. 

We will also chant the 12 mantras, honouring the names of Surya as we further put into practice the many refinements that you will learn.

I have a deep reverence for these postures and this sequence. With a clearer, deeper understanding of how to perform the individual postures, our ease and grace of movement as well as our love and appreciation for this brilliant sequence will grow.
