Need a quick energy boost better than coffee? Or simply need to get your energy flowing and get you ready for the day ahead. Sun Salutaions also known as Suyra Namaskar are like full body workout in just a few simple moves. Traditionally done very early in the morning before the sun comes up, as a salutation to the rising sun!  The sequence can vary between different schools and traditions of Yoga but the sequence usually links 12 classical postures to create an dance like flow. The body moves from gentle backbends to forward folds giving the whole front and back side of the body a great stretch. Plank and chatarunga tones the arms and shoulders and gives you amazing core workout (find some tips on plank here). Whilst down dog stretches the spine and hamstrings, bringing a sense of calm.

Here are a few tips and reasons to doing Surya Namaskar in morning...
  • Sun salutations get the blood flowing and warm up the body. 
  • They help focus on your breath and calm the mind. 
  • Balance the Chakras. 
  • Remember you are stiffer in the morning so take it easy don't force your body into deepest lunge you ever did in your life.
  •  Feel your body, watch and see how it feels as you flow through the sequence. 
  • If you practice regularly in the morning it can be a good way of seeing how you are progressing.
  • As always....Enjoy!
Lots of Love, light & energy to you.
