Surya Namaskar: Myth, Mantra, and Movement

Surya Namaskar is the sequence I come back to again and again.
It’s simple, complete, and can be practised in five minutes or fifty—whatever your body and day need. This episode is a gentle dive into the meaning, myth, and breath behind it.

You’ll hear the story of Hanuman’s leap toward the sun,
along with tips for breath-led movement, mantra integration, and Ayurvedic support for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. This isn’t just a practice—it’s a daily ritual of light, rhythm, and reconnection.

Includes a free printable chart and audio mantra support.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking for a way to return to your mat, this episode will guide you back—one breath at a time.
