Sun Salutations Workshop

with Robyn Okrant
Saturday, August 25 from 1:00pm - 3:00pm

$30 if registered by August 22, $35 thereafter

While Sun Salutations are frequently used to warm and stretch the body before continuing on to other poses, they can also be complete practice on their own. A set of Sun Salutations, or Surya Namaskar in Sanskrit, is the perfect flowing practice to bind breath to movement, to warm the entire body, to discover a meditative state in the repetition of postures, and to build strength, flexibility and stamina.

In this workshop, we will be flowing through a series of classic Hatha Yoga salutations. We'll begin with a short discussion about Surya Namaskar, breath, and modifications. After completing your series of Sun Salutations, you will be guided through several restorative poses before melting into a deep relaxation.This will be a vigorous practice, although the Sun Salutations can be modified to all bodies. Salutations will be practiced in series of 18, with rests in between each set. For those who care to, the time and guidance will be offered to you to complete a mala, or cleansing series of 108 salutations. 108 is believed to be an auspicious number and some yogis believe that it is important to complete one mala per year, but it is not required for this workshop!

This workshop should not be attended by anyone with a serious or recent back or knee injury or by anyone who is untreated for high blood pressure. Bring a towel and water and get ready for fun!Pre-registration is required and space is limited. Register here.
