Summer Solstice & Sun Salutations
Practicing the sun salutations regularly is one of the quickest ways to obtain & maintain a supple body & is a lovely way to celebrate the beginning of summer. It's original intent was a way to show appreciation for the 'giver of life', and it was practiced as a physical form of prayer. These alternating backward and forward bending asanas flex and stretch the spinal column and limbs through their maximum range. We will practice two variations of the sequence and learn some of the mantras (Sanskrit names for the sun).
Practice one of the oldest asana sequences, "Suryanamaskar" (Sun Salutations), to express gratitude for this "bright star", and honour both the longest day of the year, and International Yoga Day!
Instructor: Cedar Sorensen
Date: Saturday June 22nd, 10am – 12:30pm
Investment: $35 ($45 after June 15)
