Description
This course provides an excellent 'Mindful Movement Based Practice' of stimulation and relaxation that brings about a balance within the stress and relaxation response of the human body (sympathetic/parasympathetic control).Therapeutic SN is a perfect morning practice to awaken the body, focus the mind, and connect to a sense of gratitude for a new day!Surya Namaskar is a series of 12 poses to be performed as a continuous flow, synchronizing breath with mindful body movements.The alternate expansion and contraction of the chest during SN postures helps in regulating and deepening respiration through the practice.Movements done in synchronization with breathing during SN, result in conditioning the body, and calming down the mind.Many people live a hectic lifestyle, and as a result they suffer from stress, depression, and other physical and mental illnesses. Therapeutic SN is a wonderful Yoga technique that provides relief from such problems; and it also calms down the mindFor those of you who have limited mobility, injuries, or other conditions that prevent you from performing full SN, an excellent option is to try Chair SN. You can still receive the benefits of Sun Salutation, performing the 12-Steps flow from a chair.If standing is painful, difficult, or impossible, just attempt this chair variation of SN—and see how it will make you feel more grounded – balanced—and at ease in your body
