Surya Namaskar - The Sun Salutation - Posture 8
In the Sun Salutation, let us see the 8th posture:
Posture 8:
1. Ensure that the you are still facing the sun. Throughout all the 12 postures, you have to be facing the sun;
2. Exhale slowly and bring the left foot backward and align it with the right foot; try to stretch your leg as much as possible; you would feel the nerves pulling and responding;
3. Keep the arms straight with both the palms touching the ground;
4. Raid the back towards up as if you are forming an upward arch;
5. Bend the head downward as if you are trying to touch your neck with your chin;
The posture is similar to posture # 5 with the exception that you're pushing your left foot backwards in posture 8 versus pushing the left leg forward in posture 5.
Breathing: Exhale
