Surya Shakti

Solar power

"Surya" means "Sun,"and "Shakti" means "energy". Surya Shakti is an dynamic form of the Sun Salutation which is an ancient yogic practice with a powerful sequence of 18 postures.

When we say Surya, we are talking about the Sun which is the basic powerhouse of the planet. Life on the planet is solar powered, including human system. Surya Shakti is a way of using that energy. It does wonders for your health, as well as your physical and mental wellbeing.

Surya Shakti enriches your life in many ways:

  • Brings about physical fitness and overall wellbeing

  • Makes the sinews and ligaments of the body strong

  • Increases mental alertness and focus

  • Creates a basis for one to move into higher states of energy

  • Increases physical strength & stamina

  • Realigns the musculo-skeletal system

  • Increases energy levels

Hatha Yoga – Connecting to the sun

Click here to read an article where Sadhguru looks at a central detail that is relevant for all three sun-related practices – Surya Kriya, Surya Namaskar, and Surya Shakti.

Surya Shakti builds the physical body – it makes the sinews and ligaments of your body strong. In Yoga, we give importance to the sinews that hold the skeletal system and the whole body together. When we do any yogic practice, which is physical in nature, the focus is mainly to strengthen those, not to pump up your muscles. Strengthening the sinews of the body is what will endure for a long time and keep you well. Surya Shakti does this in a tremendous way.
