Lets start with the basics!
Surya Namaskar or some of you may know them as..Sun salutations. Surya Namaskar is a sequence of postures normally performed in the morning, hence we are saluting the sun of each new day. In Hatha we use Surya Namaskar at the beginning of each class to warm and gently open the body, preparing it for our asana practice.We start our Surya Namaskar slowly and stretch deeply through each posture, from here we can then begin to speed the sequence up to generate heat and energy in the body, completing an equal number of rounds on each side. Surya Namaskar can be a practice within itself, when performed for at 8-12 rounds. The sequence of postures allows for the whole body to be stretched and the the spine to be moved in each plane of motion.
