In the yoga tradition, the sun, Surya, symbolizes health and immortal life. The Rig Veda declares that “Surya is the Soul, both of the moving and unmoving beings.” The Sun Salutation is believed to have originated as a series of prostrations to the sun.
In this workshop you will learn the graceful sequence of the twelve positions that make up the classic Sun Salutation. You will also learn to connect each movement with twelve different mantras that describe the twelve names of the Sun! Experience the benefits of this traditional approach to warming up and moving your whole body while deepening your knowledge and understanding of the language of yoga through the use of mantra.
