How to Become Stronger and More Clever With One Exercise! Lesson 1

[maryfromsochi]

Here I am again. And as promised - I write about yoga. 

First I'll tell you about Surya Namaskar or "Sun Salutation". I do this exercise every morning and not only it helps me to wake up and make up for supply of energy, but also to keep my body in good shape. In addition, thanks to Surya Namaskar concentration of attention and brain functions get better. 

It's necessary to do Surya Namaskar with an empty stomach. Do not rush and do the exercise in your personal comfortable rhythm. It's needed to breath with nose only and to repeat breathing cycles from 1 to 6 (if you have already reached the advanced level - that can be even more). The most important point: breathe!

           The repeat all the same standing on another leg. 

           I will be thankful for your comments and advices.

                                                                                                                                                                                 

         Follow Me to make sure you don't miss my next post. Thank you!

A marvelous series of photos that describe the posture excellently. I did this a few years ago, but now I am too old and too out of shape to try the entire move. I still do part of it to relieve my back pain. Thanks for the wonderful reminder.

You should try it!!! Yoga is the best sport! You can do yoga at any age!

I have seen Sun Salutation usually used as a "warmup" for yoga. Do you use it as a way to start your day off well or do you follow with other yoga exercises.

And when you say we should do this on an empty stomach, is that yoga in general or this specific form...? I just joined a yoga studio and I plan on doing it every day. Any advice will be appreciated! :)

[maryfromsochi]

I use it as a "warmup" for yoga and as a single exercise in the morning.
Of course you should do all yoga exercises on an empty stomach.

Hmm I had no idea that was important, thanks!

Do you suffer from headaches? It's hard to tell in photos but I think you may have "text neck". Your neck looks straight but it should curve a little. Think about having a check up with a chiropractor that offers advanced biometric correction.
