Uh-huh. As you know, Step Six isn't what anybody sane would think of as "getting down on your hands and knees." There are no such poses in the Sun Salutation.
Nor is Step Six "the whole point of the exercise." The whole point of the Sun Salutation is the sequence of all 12 poses. Neither Sri Sri nor Maharishi would be happy with your attempt to distort and demean the Sun Salutation by pretending it's about "getting down on your hands and knees." Other yogis would just laugh at you as a clueless Westerner. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : There are several versions of the Sun Salutation set of poses - one of the most popular instruction sets is presented by certified instructors of The Art of Living Foundation USA founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar who learned hatha yoga directly from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. There are twelve steps to perform the Sun Salutation. Apparently the posture that got left out of your routine was the Ashtanga Pranam, step number six, the so-called "salute of eight points". Millions of yogis and students include this pose in the performance of Surya Namaskar. You might want to refresh your memory of the steps if it's been some years since you took your hatha yoga course.
