"The Surya Namaskara awakens the solar aspects of the individual’s nature and releases the vital energy for the development of a higher consciousness."

The 5 essential aspects of Surya Namaskara

01.

Asanas

There are 12 physical poses that correspond to the 12 phases of the sun in its annual movement. Its realization in a constant rhythmic sequence, reflects the rhythms of the universe; the twenty-four hours of the day, the twelve zodiacal phases of the year and the biorhythms of the body, aligning your geometry with that of the solar system.

02.

Mantras

The vibration produced by chanting the Surya and Beeja mantras during practice has a very powerful and penetrating effect on the mind and body. Accelerating the healing of ailments, providing mental stability and self-control, and dissolving accumulated tensions.

03.

Breathing

The entire sequence of movements and mantras of surya namaskara are synchronized with the breath, with phases of inhalation, exhalation, and retention. Without alignment between these elements, many of the potential benefits do not manifest.

04.

Kshetram

They are the activation points of the body’s chakras. When the mind focuses on them during practice, the chakras are activated and release energy, elevating spiritual awareness and benefitting related physical structures as well.

05.

Chakras

They are the psychic centers located in the subtle dimension of human beings, where energy channels (nadis) are interconnected. Its activation generates kundalini energy, key to the development and deepening of spiritual life.

The Surya Namaskara course was a discovery for me. Getting to know the traditional practice with Prashant was incredible, as I had no idea how complete it was. Before, I did the sun salutation in a mechanical way, focusing on postures and breathing, but I was unaware of other aspects, such as the Surya Mantras, the Bija Mantras, the connection with the chakras and many other details that have enriched our practice. Personally, it leaves me in a state of general well-being. I would recommend it to all teachers or those who wish to deepen their personal practice.

Hi, my name is Naiara. In this course, I learned that Surya Namaskara is not just a sequence of postures. You'll learn the Surya Mantras and much more. My Surya Namaskara practice is now complete, different! Special thanks to the teacher Luna, I love the way she teaches and her voice! 🙏🏻✨

- Naiara Montes@naiotxi

Taking part in the Traditional Surya Namaskara course was an enriching experience that also gave me the opportunity to deepen my yoga practice from the comfort of my own home. Our teacher Prashant guided us through each step of Traditional Surya Namaskara clearly and precisely, making sure that we understood and performed each posture and breath correctly. The course includes other recorded videos for you to practice at your own pace. As I progressed through the course, I began to feel a greater connection with my body, mind and spirit. The daily practice of Surya Namaskara helped me to increase my strength, flexibility and balance, and I also experienced a sense of inner peace and mental clarity. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to explore and delve into the beauty and benefits of practicing Traditional Surya Namaskara. It is an experience that not only improves physical health, but also nourishes the soul.

The Surya Namaskar course was an interesting and enriching experience. I was impressed by the traditional approach to the practice, which added depth to each session. The sequence, although seemingly simple, proved to be effective, challenging me to improve my posture and flexibility. Consistency was key to achieving real benefits, and the structure of the course supported this focus, allowing me to progress gradually. I recommend this course to everyone, regardless of their level of yoga experience. Thank you for such an enriching experience!

For me, the Surya Namaskara course was a great discovery. I loved being able to enjoy a tradition that brings so many benefits, both physical and mental. I began to feel the chakras and realized the importance of mantras for our health. I love the pre-pranayama practice and the final relaxation, and I'm sure I'll discover much more by being consistent in my practice. Thank you so much for this course.

The Surya Namaskar course seemed very complete. I learned much more than I knew about this practice, and it took on a greater meaning for me. After the course, I continued practicing and included it in my morning routine as a way of starting the day with energy, focus and peace. Thank you 🙏

- Ana Calvo@sosnutriyoga

I loved doing the Traditional Surya Namaskara course. Receiving teachings from Prashant is always a gift, and practicing with him and receiving his guidance is very beneficial for the practice. The one-week break between sessions was very useful for practicing and assimilating the mantras well. My Surya Namaskara has certainly reached another level.

- Silvia García Domínguez@msgd78

I loved the course 🥰🥰, I didn't know traditional Surya Namaskar and it has become my favorite. The wisdom that Master Prashant imparted made me connect with the practice in a special way. Thank you for crossing my path with this school ♥️♥️

- Inés Freire@atman_iyoga

I loved the Surya Namaskar course, I knew the practice, but not all the aspects and benefits it involves. Going deeper into it with Luna and Prashant was a gift that transformed my practice! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽

- Paloma Pueyo@pachuli.yoga

After taking the 200 and 300 hour yoga teacher courses at Kavaalya, I was looking forward to the specific Surya Namaskar course. I found it very interesting and enriching in terms of the concepts, practice and philosophy behind Surya Namaskar, far beyond the simple physical practice we are used to in the West. I would definitely recommend this course to yoga lovers, practitioners and teachers. Being taught in India, it conveys closeness and involvement. Thank you very much!
