Breathing is a vital aspect of practicing Surya Namaskar, also known as Sun Salutation. This ancient sequence of yoga poses is not just about physical movement but also about harmonizing breath with motion. Each posture in Surya Namaskar is linked with a specific breathing pattern—inhalation or exhalation—which helps maintain a steady flow of energy and focus. When you coordinate your breathing with Surya Namaskar, it enhances oxygen intake, reduces stress, and improves mental clarity. Proper breath control during the sequence also deepens your practice, allowing you to connect more deeply with your body and mind. Practicing Surya Namaskar with mindful breathing transforms it into a moving meditation.
