Yoga and the Sun

May we find the courage to keep growing towards the sun.  James shares an animated talk about the Sun and it’s symbolism in yoga and Indian tradition, focusing on Surya Namaskara, the Sun Salutes we perform in many yoga classes. We learn the symbolism woven into each movement, and how performing this sequence every time with a fresh perspective can help us feel connected to the energy of the sun, draw on all of the elements in existence to remind ourselves of our interconnectedness, and invite more grace into our lives, feeling warmed, blessed, and enlivened by our “best friend”, the Sun.
