Learn the Sanskrit Surya Namaskar Mantras!

Om Namah Sivaya!!

Today, I am sharing the beautiful Surya Namaskar – Sun Salutations Mantras, one for each of the 12 Yoga Postures. Please remember, there is no need to buy yoga pants if you are a beginner; start with comfortable clothes and follow my lessons. You can use any yoga mat for your morning practice; facing the sun to absorb the Prana-Life Energy is recommended. Chanting the mantras whilst practising is a beautiful spiritual and meditative yoga experience.

Here are the 12 postures of Surya Namaskar and the dedicated mantras.
