Master your Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) in this 2-hour workshop focused on proper alignment and learning how to utilize your breath and pace while flowing through the sun salutations. With this knowledge, you will learn how to transform them from being the least liked to the most preferred part of your practice.

After this workshop, you will know the proper technique that will not only keep your joints safe and healthy but will also increase your strength and stamina in your daily asana practice. You will notice your movements becoming more graceful and fluid.

In this workshop, we will talk about and explore:

• Body mechanics and human anatomy

• Techniques to keep our shoulders, wrists, and spine safe

• How to recognize and avoid bad habits that can lead to imbalances and injuries

• Main principles of jump-back and jump-through transitions, which are often the most challenging parts of the entire primary series of Ashtanga Yoga

• Each element and vinyasa of Surya Namaskar A and B

• Progression stages of different transitions within the primary series (and some of the intermediate series) involving Surya Namaskar elements

All of this will show us how Surya Namaskar is the foundation and most important building block for all transitions in the primary series. Fine-tuning them also sets the tone for our entire practice to become a moving meditation.

Expect to have lots of fun and do some challenging drills during this interactive 2-hour workshop. And for sure, expect sore arms and abs muscles the day after the workshop. Luckily, it’s also our rest day, so you can enjoy that sweet Sunday knowing you did your best, while eagerly awaiting Monday to apply all you have learned to your daily practice.
