Surya Namaskar for Beginners

Surya Namaskar for Beginners teaches the Sun Salutation one step at a time — the twelve positions, where the breath goes in each, and how to modify the harder transitions. Learn the sequence here before practising it at pace.

Anyone learning Surya Namaskara for the first time, or rebuilding it properly after learning it by imitation.

Surya Namaskara is the sequence most people meet first and the one most often learned wrong — copied at speed, with the breath bolted on afterwards. It is worth slowing down.

Learn the twelve positions until the order is automatic, then add the breath, and only then add pace. The sequence rewards that patience: done well it warms the whole body in a few rounds.
