Prostrations Schedule
The practice of prostrations and surya namaskar (sun salute) are the oldest form of yoga; these are the original “vinyasas”. The continuous flow of 12 postures in surya namaskar activates the entire body and its energies as we synchronize ourselves with the creative power of the sun.

Prostrations are the physical component of the yogins compassion and surrender practice. This practice, though rare in America can still be seen in India, Tibet, China and Japan. The breath, physical movement, visual mandala and mantra recitation combine to produce a profound state of unity in body, speech and mind opening our heart of compassion and our ability to be in Grace.

In this new class we take a page from the Himalayan yoga tradition and make surya namaskar or prostrations the entire focus of class to kick-start our day. It is a self-guided (after initial instructions), meditative class with each student practicing their choice of either Surya Namaskar or Prostrations at their own pace.

If this is your first time, please arrive at 6:30 to receive instruction. Bring an extra pair of socks and kneepads if you have any.
