Surya Namaskaras
Sun salutations were originally part of Hindu religious practices performed by priests, not part of hatha
yoga. They were absorbed into hatha yoga practice because of their powerful ability to lubricate the
entire spine and maintain the healthy functioning of the endocrine system.
Nowadays sun salutations are mostly practiced in yoga as only postures without mantras and by hindu
priests as only mantras without accompanying postures. When the two aspects are integrated they
become more effective.
Sun salutations are to be practiced with mantras for the effect of the sound vibrations on the energy centres
of the body and also to give positive motivation to the mind when contemplating on the meaning.
The first round should be practiced at a medium pace ( staying in each posture for around a few
seconds) while contemplating on the meaning of the mantras, the second round with bija ( seed) mantras and
the third round with full awareness of the flow of energy in the body. Following this one can practice a
minimum of 5 to 7 rounds at a faster pace maintaining awareness. The final round should again be slower.
Then relax in tadasana, standing posture taking deeper breaths.
Sun salutations are featured on the Module 1 and 2 DVD, please email us to purchase a copy or to see
