Sun Salutation, also known as Surya Namaskara, is a traditional yoga practice. It is a sequence of 12 postures or asanas linked together to form a flow, that aims to awaken the body physically, mentally, and energetically. Breathing is an important aspect of the Sun Salutation. Traditionally, it's practiced at sunrise.
For the challenge #Areyoubookenough for April, the theme was: Body Language.
When I read the title, immediately I had the idea: a concertina book, with pop-up figures doing the Asanas.
I finished the little book with Mantras in Sanskrit and English. Painted with watercolor and acrylics.
During the video, a Yoga teacher sings the mantras. If you want to listen to the whole series, here is the link.
