Do you know Surya? Do you know what Surya Namaskar, an exceedingly common “warm-up” Vinyasa sequence practiced in roughly 108 million yoga studios across the land, is actually all about? Here’s the thing: Most yoginis don’t.

Not to worry; here’s a brief, powerful, thoroughly light-soaked overview, and vigorous morning (pre-dawn, ideally) ritual practice, dedicated to the “true” meaning of Surya and his famous “sun salutation,” which might not be quite what you think it is. Just an exercise? A classic warm-up? Sort of. But oh, also so much more. Also a ritual, a prayer, an offering of devotion to life itself, like you cannot believe. Or can you? Of course you can.

Spotify playlist for Surya Devotion Flow

It can be a dangerous mindset we all fall into at some point: We start believing that life really IS what we often say it is: Same ol’ same ol’, back to the grind, just another slog, hoping to survive. In other words, life is, we numbly come to think, just a burden to be endured. Joy is an exception, fleeting and unreliable.

Nonsense. Here’s a vigorous wake-up practice designed specifically to remind you that you get to CHOOSE your alignment, your particular “vibe” in the world, every single day, and watch as the world orients itself around THAT (not the other way around). Foundational core work, hip releases, swirls and loops and warriors, all meant to dissolve nonsense conditioning and fatalistic “survivalist” thinking, and replace them with the vigorous and the alive.

Will doing this class every day make you a happier, nicer person, beloved by all? Of course not. But maybe, just maybe, a little less whiny.

Arise and Shine! Did you know that some people won't rise until you do? We have a choice to use the excuse of getting out of the wrong side of the bed or arise and shine in our gifts that make us uniquely us. Marianne Williamson said, "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." Get up and move to this beautiful flow class that will leave you feeling lighter and brighter!

Falling asleep at your desk? Need to squeeze in a quick practice between appointments and afternoon carpools? This short class will wake you up, bring your mind home from its wandering ways, and set you back on track.
