Surya Namaskar with Vedic Mantras & Yoga Nidra with Anastasia Biliri
We invite you to Neda Yoga Shala on Sunday 20 December or Sunday 17 January, to celebrate the Winter Solstice and the New Year with a deeply transformative practice: 108 Salutations to the Sun with vedic mantra and harmonium, followed by Yoga Nidra, a technique of deep relaxation and integration. The practice will be led by Anastasia Biliri.
The 108 Salutations to the Sun is a holistic practice that works on a physical, mental and emotional level and awakens energy by directing it to higher energy centers and states of consciousness.
It activates the element of fire - a symbol of vitality and inner transformation - filling us with energy to expel what does not serve us and make room for new beginnings. At the same time, the timing (Winter Solstice) and the way we perform the salutation (consciously, with awareness in body, breath, mantra and chakra) will simultaneously cultivate the internalization of Ida - moon/night thus balancing the vitality of Pingala - sun making the salutation to the sun a perfectly balanced practice.
The seminar is addressed to intermediate and advanced students who have a relative familiarity with sun salutations. Options for adaptations will be given.
Surya Namaskara is one of the most useful methods to induce a healthy, vigorous and active life and at the same time, prepare for spiritual awakening and the resultant expansion of awareness. Sw Satyananda
