Surya Namaskar Yagna (Sun Salutations Marathon) - 2007
As part of Yoga awareness movement and outreaching the community, Yoga Bharati organizes Surya Namaskar Yagna (Sun Salutations Marathon) as an annual event where individuals and groups experience the benefits of Suryanamaskar in a healthy competition. Awards will be presented to winners (individuals, groups).
Surya Namaskar is a series of 10 or 12 poses linked by a continuous flowing motion and synchronized with the breath. Perform this series every morning and evening, and more if you desire. As always in Yoga, do it slowly and consciously.
For people with limited time, the Surya Namaskar exercises every muscle and joint while stimulating the body. Surya Namaskar is performed to give reverence to the internal Sun, the creative force that radiates inside the body, and the external Sun, which shines outside the body.
Surya Namaskar Yagna is associated with Ratha Sapthami (an Indian festival that workships Sun). It is Sun Salutations Marathon where an individual sets a goal and practices regularly and gradually increase the count per day to reach the goal.
Period: January 1st 2007 to February 9th, 2007 – 6 weeks
Venue: At home, work, parks, yoga classes and wherever you can.
There is no fee for participation. Anyone with normal health including kids can perform the practice.
