THE INNER ATTITUDE WHILE DOING SURYA NAMASKARA
Each movement needs to be made very consciously. While performing Surya Namaskara you should face either the Sun or East.
It is essential that you clearly evoke and maintain constantly and firmly the image of the gigantic force sphere of the Sun. You can also meditate on the Sun as a nurturer and dispenser of terrestrial life.
BREATHING
It is very important to synchronize breathing with the performed movements. Though it may seem complicated, it is just a normal and natural breathing rhythm superimposed over the rhythm of the movements. However, breathing can be neglected in the beginning of the performance, until you familiarize yourself with the movements.
