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.

1. Pranamasana (Prayer Pose) | ॐ मित्राय नमः | Om Mitraaya Namaha
2. Hasta Uttanasana (Raised Arms Pose) | ॐ रवये नमः। | Om Ravaye Namaha

Om Shanti!
