SURYA NAMASKARA'S - THE DAY'S ENERGY CREATOR

Welcome back !! πŸ˜‰

Now this will be one long possttt. So sit with a mug of tea or coffee or anything else that you like ☕

Most people already know what Surya Namaskaara's are, but there are 10 different variations ! "TEN .. REALLY ?! " My view when I learnt that there were so manyπŸ˜‚πŸ˜… I shall write about all of them.

With these 10 and 1 chandra namaskaara ( moon salutation) you could also have a 6 pack ! I am actually working that one out. I do not have the time to do the workout twice a day. and once a day keeps me fit but ill tell you if I develop abs all of a sudden πŸ˜›


ROUND 1 - The Traditional Surya Namasakaara.

Do it indoors or outdoors ... the east is the best, its an energy oriented direction .. the direction of the rising sun. πŸŒ„

The exercises act on the sympathetic system. And i do not want to go into the science of it all but just know that it activates 650 muscles, aligns 206 bones and lubricates all your joints.

Now comes the real work. Step by step explanation on how to do it. And ohh..! almost forgot... there is a type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 is going fast and type 2 is going slow.. we could make up a type 0 where we only read this and do nothing. 😩 And relate it to your breathing, the inhalation and exhalation. DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH.  We do not want anyone turning blue and passing out. πŸ˜›


1. PRANAAM AASAN
       Acts on the circulatory and the respiratory system.  Being a medico entitles me to give that info 😁

   INHALE AND EXHALE DEEPLY.

2. HASTA UTTANASAN
     Acting on the autonomic nervous system.(ANS)

   Now, take your arms up like that in the pic i.e from the side of your body anddd upp like the next pic, so it does not stress your shoulders.
UPPP....and INHALE. breathheeee



3. PADA HASTAASAN
  Acts on the Urinary and the reproductive system.

For this bring your arms down slowly and bend your knees. There is no need for you touch the floor with knees straight because that comes gradually with practice. never worry pretty minds with this thing. Comfortable is the way to go. πŸ˜‰


   And EXHALE

     4. ASWASANCHAALANAASAN
        Acts on the hypothalamus centre.
   

                  INHALEE

  5. CHATURANGAASAN
        Acts on the ANS.
      While doing this make sure you feel the weight and pressure on your ankles and legs but not your shoulderss.
                 And EXHALE

  6. ASHTAANGA NAMANAASAN

       Acts on the the digestive system. Let your chest and legs touch the ground. You know, more like a push up and then onto the next exercise. AND RETAIN YOUR BREATHE FOR A MOMENT.




  7. BHUJANGAASAN
       
Acts on thhe urinary and reproductive system.




And INHALEE

     

   8. PARVATAASAN

     Acts on the ANS.
    Just make sure your feet are a little apart and just try to touch them to the ground by pulling your feet closer to your body, but again do not exert yourself. practice makes man perfect and flexible. ✔


     EXHALEEE

  9. ASWASANCHAALANAASAN

            Its a cycle.. repeating the first aasanas, but just repeat it using the opposite leg.
                
  INHALEEE

         Gradually touch your toes and EXHALE. 

          

11. HASTA UTTANAASAN

12. PRANAMA AASAN

         EXHALE 




Now repeat it as many times as you like 5 rounds, 8 rounds 10 rounds anythingg, depending on the time you have got . Go fast if you are doing it for stamina and go slow if you are going for strength. πŸ’ͺ
