Surya Namaskar Asanas – A Step By Step Guide
1. Prayer Pose – Pranamasana
Place equal weight on both feet while you stand with your feet together. Let your shoulders drop and chest rise. Raise both arms over your head as you inhale, then as you exhale, clasp your hands in front of your chest in a praying position.
2. Raised Arms Pose – Hasta Uttanasana
While inhaling, bring the biceps close to the ears and raise the arms overhead. To achieve this position, you should stretch out from your toes to your fingertip. To get the most out of it, you should pull your pelvis forward and reach up with your fingertips instead of leaning back.
3. Hand To Foot Pose – Hasta Padasana
Exhale as you bend forward from the waist while keeping your back straight. As you let out a deep breath, lower your hands to the ground next to your feet.
4. Equestrian Pose – Ashwa Sanchalanasana
While taking a deep breath in, extend your right leg as far as you can behind you. You should drop your right knee on the floor and look up.
5. Stick Pose – Dandasana
As you inhale, step your left foot back so that your body forms a straight line and your arms remain at right angles to your torso.
6. Saluting With Eight Parts – Ashtanga Namaskara
Relax and bring your knees down to the floor while exhaling. Relax your hips and slide forward until your chest is on the floor and your chin is resting there. Raise your rear end just a hair. Eight body parts, including hands, feet, knees, chest, and chin, must make contact with the floor.
7. Cobra Pose – Bhujangasana
Raise your chest into the cobra position and slide forward. You can relax your shoulders and keep them down by your sides in this position. Check it out. To improve your posture, gently push your chest forward as you inhale and your belly button down as you exhale. Wrap your feet up. Take care to extend as far as you comfortably can without causing yourself pain.
8. Mountain Pose – Parvatasana
Take a ‘inverted V’ (/) stance by exhaling and lifting your hips and tailbone while lowering your chest. To get further into the stretch, keep the heels planted and make a conscious effort to lift the tailbone.
9. Equestrian Pose – Ashwa Sanchalanasana
Breathing in, bring the right foot squarely between the two hands, with the right calf perpendicular to the floor; bring the left knee down to the floor; squeeze the hips down; gaze up. To increase the depth of the stretch, try softly pressing the hips down towards the floor.
