Lesson 5
Surya
Namaskar (Salute to the Sun): This is a Vinyasa—a series of postures
put together in a flowing sequence. This series of movements dates back
thousands of years. Since the sun radiates life, people would worship
it by doing this series of movement. It has been introduced into the
teaching of Hatha Yoga only in recent times. Recommendation: do even
numbered rounds of the movement building up to twelve (12).
Benefits:
this series of movements exercises and stretches every major muscle in
the body and stimulates the Circulatory system.
