Traditionally, Sun Salutation is performed in the morning, when parts of our body are exposed to the rising sun. Sun, is according to Vedic texts worshiped as deity. Translation from Sanskrit itself points to this, with Surya meaning Sun and Namaskar meaning to Greet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>When and how many times to do Sun Salutation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">While nowadays Sun Salutation is practiced at the <strong>beginning of Hatha and Vinyasa yoga classes<\/strong>, according to Ayurveda, the best time is <strong>an hour before sunrise<\/strong>. This time is called Brahma Muharta, or the time of God. It is the part of the day when we are calm, pure and open to receiving cosmic wisdom and blessings. This does not mean that Surya Namaskar cannot be practiced at other times, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\"><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">The number of repetitions is also up to you. As <strong>part of meditation,<\/strong> Sun Salutation is practiced <strong>108 times.<\/strong> This obviously requires time and practice. When you join in yoga classes, simply follow the instructor and let them guide you. If you practice at home and focus purely on Surya Namaskar, i.e. not on a longer flow with more positions, try to <strong>start with 6 repetitions<\/strong> and <strong>work your way up<\/strong> to 12-15 or more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8220;.vc_custom_1680631647882{margin-top: 2px !important;margin-right: 15% !important;margin-left: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}&#8220;]<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sun Salutation benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When practiced correctly, Sun Salutation has many benefits for body and soul.

We focus on one of the <strong>most commonly used sequences with 12 positions<\/strong>. These positions are carefully selected to form the whole Surya Namaskar. Our body is a tool, connecting heaven and earth, where the Sun is according to Vedic texts source of higher wisdom and consciousness.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5042 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NAYAVITA-Yoga-surya-namaskar-PS.png\" alt=\"Pozdrav Slunci krok za krokem Surya Namaskar Pozdrav Slunci pro za\u010d\u00e1te\u010dn\u00edky Postup Pozdrav SLunci A 12 pozic 12 asan\" width=\"1024\" height=\"860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NAYAVITA-Yoga-surya-namaskar-PS.png 1024w, https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NAYAVITA-Yoga-surya-namaskar-PS-768x645.png 768w, https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NAYAVITA-Yoga-surya-namaskar-PS-640x538.png 640w, https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NAYAVITA-Yoga-surya-namaskar-PS-400x336.png 400w, https:\/\/nayavita.com\/yoga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/NAYAVITA-Yoga-surya-namaskar-PS-700x588.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is important to practice each position correctly, with specific focus on breathing.
