The perform the spiral surya namaskar with Maripelly Praveen, an avid yoga expert and founder of the SN Foundation.
They will perform 14 asanas in spiral surya namaskar.
"A distinctive feature of the spiral surya namaskar is its opening chant—a two-minute recitation that includes a Sanskrit śloka followed by the twelve sacred names of the sun. This sonic ritual generates positive vibrations within the body, helping to realign energy pathways, harmonise mind-body coordination, and cultivate inner calm," he said.
"From this grounded state, practitioners move into the spiral sequence, synchronising rhythmic breathing with fluid, multi-planar movements. By weaving sound (chanting), breath, and movement into a unified flow, spiral surya namaskar preserves the core of ancient wisdom while offering a uniquely modern, integrative practice for the whole body. Each new spiral round begins with this up to two-minute chanting ritual," he said.
"Before starting the second or any subsequent spiral, practitioners once again recite the twelve names of the sun. This recurring chant serves as a moment of reconnection—deepening inner awareness and preparing the body and mind for the next cycle of movement," he added.
