Easy Yoga Flow to Start the Day / Classical Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) / 7 Minute Yoga Flow

Описание: Surya Namaskars (aka sun salutations) are a graceful sequence off poses linked by a continuous flowing motion and accompanied by deep breaths. They are easy to learn and should be followed by pranayama & meditation for a full yoga practice.

Each pose counteracts the one before, stretching the body in a different way and alternately expanding and contracting the chest to regulate and harmonize the breathing. You can start by doing two to four rounds of this classical version, and then gradually build up to twelve rounds.

According to tradition, for its best benefits Sun Salutations are best performed on an empty stomach, facing the sun, at sunrise or sunset with the feelings of gratitude to the sun and life while doing so. You can imagine your whole body is filled with the light of the Sun before starting.

Benefits: Energizing the body, especially when practiced in the morning. Stimulates the metabolism and the digestive, respiratory, circulatory and reproductive systems. It provides a good cardiovascular workout, stretches the body, lubricates and strengthens joints and muscles. This sequence takes your spine through almost every possible range of motion and when integrated with the breath (the pattern in which we inhale and exhale with each pose), it encourages deep and rhythmic breathing, increasing blood to the brain and bringing mental clarity.
