The Power of Sun Style: Energizing and Calming

When thinking about the Sun, two contrasting images often come to mind: the fiery energy of its rays and the soothing calmness of a sunset. Sun style, inspired by these dual aspects, combines both energies to create a harmonious practice that rejuvenates the body and calms the mind.

Energizing Poses

Begin your Sun Style routine with energizing poses that activate the body and awaken your senses:

  • Sun Salutations: Flow through a sequence of poses that stretch and strengthen every major muscle group.
  • Warrior Poses: Embrace your inner strength and power with poses like Warrior I and Warrior II.
  • Backbends: Open up your heart and increase your energy with poses like Cobra or Upward-Facing Dog.
