Sun Salutation

Surya Namaskara

All of these Surya Namaskara flow with the breath in continuous movement. At any time you can hold a pose and explore it. This can be done before flowing through the whole Sun Salutation continuously or after doing it continuously a number of times and then flowing once again or at the end of the salutations. One pose may be held or many postures can be held. The secret is to always explore many methods and monitor the response within.

If sun salutations aggravate your lower back it is essential to mildly tilt in the backbends because your whole upper bodies weight falls upon a few discs. It is also important to lift mildly during in the Cobra Flow part. This will make a big difference causing the Sun Salutation to be either beneficial or harmful to your health.

I hope you enjoy these Sun Salutations as much as I did. What a beautiful way to practice spirituality."
