Sun Salutations.
Technique-
- Prarthanasan: Pose in which both feet are touching, both hands are clasped in the middle of the chest as in the prayer position, with the back, neck, and head straight.
- As you continue in the first posture, raise your hands directly above your head and slant your back slightly to extend it. Keep your hands in the stance of prayer (without bending your elbows). Bend slightly backward from the waist while looking upward while keeping your neck between your arms.
- Uttanasan:Continuing from the 2nd position take your hands from above your head bending in the front and place your hands beside your feet on both sides. Keep your knees straight and try to touch the head to your knees.
- EkpadPrasarnasan: Sit down in the third position by extending one leg fully behind you while keeping your hands resting on each side of the front leg. The opposite leg ought to be with its knee bent. With your gaze slightly upwards, place your chest weight on the front knee.
- Now slowly place the second leg below the first, chaturangdandasan. Maintain knee alignment with the legs. The palms and toes should support the entire body weight. In a straight line, the head, waist, and foot should all be. Take a look at the ground up ahead (This is also called ChaturangDandasan because the body rests on the toes and palms)
- Ashtangasan: Bend both arms at the elbows and lower the chest toward the ground. The earth should be touched by the following eight organs: the forehead, chest, palms, both knees, and toes. (It is known as Ashtangasan because eight body parts touch the ground.)
- Bhujangasana:Lifting your body above the waist, leaning it slightly backward, and glancing behind are the next instructions from Bhujangasan. Ensure that your legs and thighs are in contact with the ground and that your back is positioned semi-circularly.
- AdhomukhSvanasan: Try to contact your chin to your chest while lifting your waist, your arms completely extended, and your hands and legs flat on the ground.
- EkpadPrasarnasan: Position identical to that of the fourth with the opposing leg in the back.
- Uttanasan: Same as that in the 3rd position.
- After that slowly come back to Position 1. Now one Surya Namaskaris over. Everyday do at least twelve such Surya Namaskars.
