What is a Surya Namaskar?
Surya Namaskar means salutations to sun, traditionally performed at dawn facing the rising Sun. It consists of a set of simple body postures for full body workout and stress relief. Surya Namaskar is an exquisite miniaturized version of all that Yoga embodies.
What is a Yoga Marathon?
Hindu YUVA has been conducting Surya Namaskar Yajna (SNY) for past three years as part of a nationwide yoga marathon resulting in more than 10,000 participants, 250 centers and 1 million sun salutations. The purpose of SNY is to create awareness about yoga and its benefits in achieving a healthy body, mind and spirit – “health for humanity”. The idea of a marathon is of dividing into teams of 4-5 people and at least 2 members of each team are doing Surya Namaskars at any point of time in those 2 hours.
Why should we take part?
The goal of this unique Yoga Marathon is to inculcate yoga practice in our daily lives for physical and mental well being by performing Surya Namaskar together. And what’s better than to start this with your friends!
