Morning Sun Salutation Variations
Feb 5th, 2008 by claireyoga
This variation of a Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) is based on the 12 phases of the sun and therefore contains 12 movements. Flow each breath one into the other and stay in downward dog for a few breaths, deepening the pose. Please use any of the modifications you may need: step the legs back, bend the knees into a press up pose (instead of Chaturanga), only come to a low cobra instead of upward facing dog (Urdhva Mukha Svanasana), and/or keep the legs slightly bent in downward dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) if it is too much on the arms. The aim here is to keep the breathing deep, rich, even and flowing. Namaskar 2 includes chair pose (Utkatasana) and warrior pose 1 & 2 (Virabhadrasana I & II) , again flowing continually. Jai Fire!
