Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a wonderful practice which allows us to move the whole body in a beautiful flowing sequence, typically practised at sunrise. The Sun represents the physical and spiritual heart of the world. We salute the Sun and give thanks for a new day filled with life-giving light and sustenance. This workshop is about celebrating the sun!
In this workshop, we will learn the authentic Indian practice, exploring not only the asanas but also the associated sounds or mantras that make up the Surya Namaskar sequence in depth. We will practice each asana individually, connecting movement with breath, before combining the asanas to create this traditional flow. Sun salutation is a complete stand-alone practice that flows from one asana to the next, linking gracefully into a sequence that works the whole body. Sun Salutations serve as meditation in movement, reducing depression, anxiety and stress while building mental focus, concentration, and deep breathing.
Surya Namaskar is a lovely way to revive your mind, body, and spirit. The workshop includes chai and chat off the mat.
Open to all levels of experience, and beginners are welcome. Join me for a morning of inspiring, authentic Indian yoga and a great opportunity for relaxed and informal socialising, shared with like-minded people. Chai, chat, and cake are included!
