🌞 Suryanamaskara – Your Everyday Power Practice
We all know how important Suryanamaskara is among yogasanas. From parents to grandparents, we’ve all been reminded time and again: Practice it daily! And rightly so — when done with awareness, it activates most major muscle groups and connects breath to body.
Step-by-Step with Breath
- Pranamasana (Prayer Pose)
Equal weight on both legs, chest open. Feet together, palms joined at heart.

Bend forward, spine long.
Exhale - Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose)

Hold Breath - Ashtanga Namaskara (Eight-Limbed Pose)

⚖️ Don’t Skip the Other Side
Always complete the round on both sides — Right and Left. Skipping one side leads to imbalance — not just in the body but in subtle energies too. Practice 5 rounds daily (10 sides total) for enhanced immunity and energy balance.
🌀 Two Tempos, Two Benefits
- Slow + Steady (6–10 sec hold/pose) = Muscle strength, stamina, focus
- Fast + Flowing (continuous movement) = Cardio, detox, sweat!
