practice lab november - surya namaskar a

This month in our practice lab we will be focusing on surya namaskar a, sun salutation a. This is a sequence of postures that are often practiced at the beginning of a class to help warm up and prepare the body and mind.

In this workshop style class we will take time to explore the postures that make up this sequence and the transitions between the postures, and also how to breathe most efficiently through the sequence. 

It is quite common to have practiced this sequence hundreds or thousands of times without ever really exploring, and learning, the finer details. When we understand this sequence it can transform from something we struggle through, into a meditative ritual that quietens down the mind and draws the energy and attention inward.
