0Authentic Practice of Surya Namaskar with Chakras, Breath, and Mantra.
Surya Namaskar is a rhythmic sequence of 12 postures, each linked with specific Chakras, controlled breathing (Pranayama), and mantra chanting. When performed with awareness, it harmonizes the body’s energy system, activating the subtle energy centers (Chakras) and Prana Vayu (life force currents).
The Role of Vyana Prana in Surya Namaskar
According to Yogic Anatomy, Surya Namaskar activates Vyana Vayu, one of the five primary Pranas (subtle energy flows). Vyana is responsible for circulation, co-ordination, and energy distribution throughout the body. Its activation through Surya Namaskar brings:
- Enhanced Blood Circulation – Improves oxygen supply to tissues, aiding in detoxification.
- Balanced Nervous System – Harmonizes sympathetic and parasympathetic responses, reducing stress.
- Improved Joint Mobility – Facilitates smooth movement and flexibility.
- Cellular Rejuvenation – Boosts immunity and tissue healing.
By aligning the breath, Chakras, and Vyana Prana, Surya Namaskar transforms into a holistic practice that awakens dormant energies, fostering inner harmony.
