IN PERSON: Traditionally, the Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar) is performed at sunrise to energize the body and mind, and boost strength and flexibility. In this 10-week series, we'll explore variations of the Sun Salutation sequence through a therapeutic lens. You'll learn modifications of the series in different relationships to gravity, from reclined to seated in a chair, kneeling, using a chair for support, against a wall and freely on the mat. This gradual progression is designed to gently increase your vitality and stamina without overheating you. Classes will also include warmups, counterposes, cooling mudras and pranayama, as well as the well-known Sanskrit chant the Gayatri Mantra, which honors the sun's divine life-giving light. This course is best for those with some yoga experience (see note). | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
