sandeyeRoutine Alterations & Adaptions: Namaste
March 7th 2008 17:16
One of the poses I perform in my routine, though not individually apart from the sequence, is Namaste. I tend to stand erect and do a frontal Namaste as the first position in my 3-pose variation of the Surya Namaskar. (I have still not gotten around to learning the entire sequence of poses involved, so prefer my own partial version, which starts and ends with Namaste and can be read about in a former posting.) It is recommended that Namaste be used as a frequent work break for those who are desk-bound, or as a between chore pose for those doing much strenuous activity, as well as also being suggested as a part of some Yoga routines.
The forwards Namaste is performed by standing straight and placing the hands in front, in what is usually known as a prayer-position. The backwards Namaste is done by making the same hand-pose behind your back. Doing the reverse version assists with breathing, tension in the wrist and shoulder regions, and can also assist with standing erect. Sources recommend performing the pose for between 6 and 20 breaths.
