Center of Awareness

In the practice of yoga, Surya Namaskar is a salutation performed to the Sun offering gratitude and love for the life-giving energy that it provides. The sun represents energy, power, and vitality. As the Surya Nadi or Sun Channel runs along the right side, you begin the Surya Namaskar with your right leg first. The Surya Namaskar or the Sun Salutation is best practiced early in the morning before sunrise. Experience many benefits such as physical and mental strength, better command over your body, calmness of the mind, balanced energies, and inner peace. Surya Namaskar is a powerful technique to make you more mindful. With regular practise, it increases awareness forming a deeper connection between the body, breath and consciousness. You can start with 5 cycles a day as a beginner, and slowly increase it to 11 cycles per day.

Morning yoga to honor and activitie energy of the Sun with


Surya Namaskar is an ancient and powerful practice. Surya means Sun god. According to the Vedas, the Sun is the creator of the material universe, the source of life, a symbol of enlightenment. The Sun is the center of our solar system, without it there would be no life. In the human body, the energy of the Sun personifies the spirit.
In the morning practice, we turn to the Sun not as a luminary, but as an energy, giving this energy part of our attention and thereby activating its manifestation in our lives. Regular and conscious practice can help to gain optimism, joy of life, self-confidence, contact with the inner feeling "I am"; get rid of depression, lethargy, and apathy. A person with a good, strong Sun seems to radiate their inner light wherever they are.

The practice is done on Sunday morning. Sunday is the day of the Sun. Recommended for pre-intermediate and intermediate yoga practitioners.
