Sun Salutations in September

Hello Friends,

Thanks for relaxing with us in August for Yoga Nidra.
We are happy to report that we are now able to supply you with a eco-friendly jute fiber mat for class in case you forget to bring yours. For the month of September we will focus on Sun Salutations or Surya Namaskar sequences.

Surya namaskar or sun salutations are a series of linked asanas and breath usually performed to introduce a yoga practitioner to the practice. The sequence is designed to move and warm the body and spine into postures that harmonize each other.
During the month of September we will discuss various aspects of this practice and why it is fundamental preparation. Each week will introduce various traditions of sun salutations including:

* Classic
* Surya namaskar A & B
* Shiva namaskar
* Lunar "chandra" namaskar
