The first session is common between the Experienced Beginner and the Intermediate level Short Courses. The other 2 sessions of the Intermediate level explore how surya namaskar can be integrated into our asana practice beyond just repetitions of a certain number of cycles. This second session integrates surya namaskar in a short energising practice session preceded and followed by inversions.
Surya namaskar can be an energising and strengthening practice – it is especially suited to morning and cold weather. It is not so well suited to a hot climate or as an evening practice.
People with shoulder, wrist and back weakness are advised caution, although some adaptations are possible to work around these weaknesses without aggravating them. Surya namaskar is not recommended for women during menstruation and pregnancy, and for anyone with recent abdominal surgery or other conditions like diarrhoea and dysentery, those with heart ailments, and anyone with any debilitating condition.
