Soorya namaskaar

 Surya Namaskar (सूर्यनमस्कार)

Salute to the Sun or Sun Salutation, is a practice in yoga as exercise incorporating a sequence of some twelve gracefully linked asanas.


The asana sequence originated in the Hatha Yoga tradition on 9th century in India. 


The basic sequence involves moving from a standing position into Downward and Upward Dog poses and then back to the standing position, but many variations are possible.


The founder of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, K. Pattabhi Jois, stated that "There is no Ashtanga yoga without Surya Namaskara, which is the ultimate salutation to the Sun god."

Ancient yoga -yoga tours india

In classical, traditional Yoga, as understood through a study of the Vedas, the Upanishads, the YOGA VASHISTHA, THE BHAGAVAD GITA AND THE YOGA SUTRAS, very little emphasis was placed upon the physical practices. . About 500 A.D. the emphasis of spirituality and Yoga started to shift more and more to physical practices and techniques in keeping with the materialistic, sensual, body-oriented nature of mankind in Kali Yuga. #yogabooks #hathayoga #classicalyoga #worldofyoga #yogapractice #yogaasana #yogainspiration #yogi #ancientyoga #vedas #yogaphilosophy #igyogacommunity #juruyoga #awareness #yogateacher #namaste #indiayoga #yogisofinstagram #bhagavadgita #yogadaily www.yogatoursindia.in

The Lotus Mudra

The Lotus Mudra opens the heart chakra and is a symbol of purity. A lotus flower sits on the surface of the pond, opening to the sun as its roots remain deeply embedded into the muddy bottom, holding it firm and strong. It is the symbol of light and beauty emerging from the darkness. The benefits of lotus mudra include: ~Purifies the body ~Relaxes and stabilizes the mind ~Treats ulcers and fevers ~Creates a more loving attitude toward others . . #mudras #lotus #lotus_mudra #light #beautiful #love #heart #chakras #yoga #yoga #peace #yogalife #yogastudy #yogi
