Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)

suryanamaskar mantras

I have spent a good portion of the day researching the popular yoga sequence, Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar).

Even though I have been practicing yoga for about 10 years now, it is not until recently that I have started paying attention and practicing Surya Namaskar and not until even more recently that I discovered there were mantras that go along with it and chakras that are activated from the practice of it.

So I came up with the above graph (JPG) explaining the different steps in good detail.

Hopefully more people can start practicing this great asana sequence and feel free to throw in your own  variations (without straining yourself, of course).
