Many Thanks for a most elucidating articulation of Surya Namaskar. You shed great light upon whatever subject you present which is much appreciated now that my own light is somewhat dimming with age.
This! I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say my interpretation of sun salutations has forever changed! Thanks for this breakdown and for lightening my day 😹☀️
Hello, I too wanted to say how my practice of Sūrya Namaskāra will indelibly be linked with the wonderful way you presented it James. A moving prayer honouring everything, not just the Sun but the earth, the elements, the human and animal life and plant life, God.. Thank you from my heart .
Beautiful talk!! I love the thematic exploration of Surya Namaskara: a movement mantra. Also loved the reference to Tagore. I have been totally immersed in reading his many many offerings for a few months now. Such a prolific, awakened genius...!
I would like to share an experience i had of this beautiful practice . It was a few years ago when I was practicing it regularly and with a lot of attention to detail and moving slowly with breath awareness . It's a truly beautiful practice and as you say so adaptable.
I began feeling the energy moving through the nadis ida and pingala and the awareness of this was very definite and organic . Right foot forward activated the channel at the right side base of spine to Ajna and left foot forward activated the channel from the left side base of spine to Ajna. It unfolded for me as a beautiful experience of whole body Nadi Sodhana .
