About Mahavatar Babaji's Surya Namaskar
Mahavatar Babaji’s Surya Namaskar is a complete exercise for the whole body. It is preferable to practice it at sunrise, but also at anytime you feel comfortable. It stimulates cardiovascular system, helps to energize the body, strenghtens muscles and makes the body flexible and supple. The lungs benefit from the oxygen and the rising sun casts its beneficial influence on the body. It also prevents and regulates diabetes, skin diseases, constipation and other stomach problems, as well as appetite. Surya Namaskar should not be done by pregnant women. We suggest practicing each posture without forcing the body; also consult your doctor to see if you are physically healthy enough to practice Mahavtar Babaji's Surya Namaskar.
If one practices Mahavtar Babaji's Surya Namaskar 6 to 10 times for men, or 5 to 6 times for women, it is equal to doing one hour of Hatha Yoga (or one balanced session of Hatha Yoga). Our Surya Namaskar works and stretches every muscle group of the body.
We suggest that you practice Surya Namaskar prior to attending an Atma Kriya Yoga course. The purpose behind Surya Namaskar is to energise your body and it will also help you perform some of the other techniques required on the course.
