Salute to the Sun
ASHTANGA NAMASKARA
Position 6 Ashtanga Namaskara or 'salutation with eight limbs'
Bend the knees to the floor and then bring the chest and chain to the
floor, keeping the buttocks elevated. The hands, chin, chest, knees and
toes touch the floor, and the spine is arched. The breath is retained
in exhalation from position 5. This is the only time that the alternate
inhalation and exhalation of the breath is changed. Focus the awareness
at the centre of the body or at the back muscles.
