SURYA NAMASKAR FOR WEIGHT LOSS




SURYA NAMASKAR for WEIGHT LOSS

It is the flagship of yoga abhyas. It is said  if one can not do anything he can get the yoga benefits from the practice of Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar is a combination of Physical Practice+ Pranayam Practice+ Concentration Practice+ Spiritual Practice with Mantras.


Time of practice is Morning and Evening around sunrise and sunset in empty stomach.

If you need a strong body, an elastic body with stamina and like to enjoy gracefully aging, it is one and only Surya Namaskar.

CAUTION FOR BEGINNERS...

THOSE HAVING KNEE PAIN, BACK PAIN AND POST OPERATION PERIOD UP TO ONE YEAR, ACUTE AND TERMINAL DISEASES SHOULD NOT PRACTICE SURYA NAMASKAR.

FOR OTHERS: We shall divide SN into two categories.

SN for Weight Loss (8 Steps)

Each step you have to either inhale or exhale as shown in the video.

Breathing is either medium breath (Madhyam Swas)  or fast breath ( Khipra Swas). Medium breath is 10 to 12 breath per minute. One can complete one set in 30 seconds. This includes rest for two breaths before you start the next round. One should complete at least one set of 12 rounds. Time taken for 12 rounds is 6 minutes. Remember to change your leg position after each set of 6 SNs.

Slowly we shall enter into the next stage. Breathing will be faster. No. Of rounds will be three or more in one minute. We have to do it continuously without rest. You have the option to open your mouth when you are tired. Here we shall try to complete 2 sets with 24 SN and it will take a maximum of 7 to 8 minutes. Here also take care to change your leg position after 6 no. of SNs.

Till now we have completed 36 SN within 15 minutes.

FreeStyle SN
Here you forget your breath synchronization with each and every step.
Remember only breathing out to be matched to sequence no. 2,4,6 and 8. Simply close the eyes and continue this set for another 6x3=18 SN.

After completing 54 rounds of SN in just 20minutes, lie down on abdomen with chin support and rest in makarasan for  5 minutes and savasan for five minutes.

This is a thirty minutes Program to reduce weight calories wise.
