When I first started practicing the classical form of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), it was so challenging. The drop down baffled me. I couldn’t get my breath to contain my movements. Often, my left shoulder or wrists would feel a little tweaky afterwards. Now I know that those challenging elements of Surya Namaskar were exactly the things that needed attention in my body. AND that Surya Namaskar was a practice that could change them. Because that’s what Surya Namaskar does: it brings change, growth, awakening.

With Surya Namaskar, the oldest known physical practice, we can open our hips and shoulders. We can strengthen our legs, arms, wrists, and core. It also stimulates the thyroid gland and energizes the kidneys. The energetic benefits are bountiful as well: it ground us in the present moment while connecting us to our center; relieves frustration in the mind; and allows us to take time to connect with our inner light, to honor our inner sun. I, personally, have used this series to move through fear, grief, confusion, disappointment, and anger as well as shoulder and wrist issues.

Mili and I have been practicing Surya Namaskar consistently since 2004 and we’re looking forward to sharing what we’ve learned about this magical series. We’ll help each student find the right modification that will make Surya Namaskar more accessible while allowing for progress at every level.

In this workshop, you’ll learn:

• the series itself and how to modify it for your body
• how to flow with the breath & work with your gaze (drishti) to find meditation in motion
• the magic of Classical Surya Namaskar for instigating change in our lives

Let’s explore the secrets of this timeless vinyasa, as we share what we’ve learned from our own experience as well as information passed down from our teacher, Aadil Palkhivala.

The new year can be a time of change, of new beginnings. Use this workshop as a spring-board for any new elements you wish to bring into your life in 2018.
