  • Surya Namaskar

    Surya Namaskar

    Surya Namaskar Step 1. Pranamasana (Prayer pose) Stand at the edge of your mat, keep your feet together and balance your weight equally on both the feet. Expand your chest and relax your shoulders. As you breathe in, lift both arms up from the sides, and as you exhale, bring your palms together in front of the chest in prayer position. Step 2. Hastauttanasana (Raised arms pose) Breathing in, lift the arms up and back, keeping the biceps close to the ears. In this pose, the effort is to stretch the whole body up from the heels to the tips of the fingers. Tip to deepen this yoga stretch: You may push the pelvis forward a little bit. Ensure you're reaching up with the fingers rather than trying to bend backward. Step 3. Hastapadasana (Standing forward bend) Breathing out, bend forward from the waist keeping the spine erect. As you exhale completely, bring the hands down to the floor beside the feet. Tip to deepen this yoga stretch: You may bend the knees, if necessary, to bring the palms down to the floor. Now make a gentle effort to straighten the knees. It's a good idea to keep the hands fixed in this position and not move them henceforth until we finish the sequence. Step 4. Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian pose) Breathing in, push your right leg back, as far back as possible. Bring the right knee to the floor and look up. Tip: How to deepen this yoga stretch? Ensure that the left foot is exactly in between the palms.
