Padma Sadhana - its importance

IMPORTANCE OF PADMA SADHANA I've been with yoga - off and on :D:D for various reasons... sometimes for health benefits, sometimes for tranquility.

There are various padvatis or forms or paddhatis of yoga giving various benefits and experiences (Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga etc), and would like to highlight the importance of Padmasadhna here.

A lot of people have posted to write something about steps and collective information here :) I found some useful information on the web, which I am consolidating here: Surya Namaskara ( IPA: [su:rjɐ nɐmɐskɐ:rɐ] ; Sanskrit : सूर्य नमस्कार ; IAST : Sūrya Namaskāra ) also known in English as Sun Salutation (lit. "salute to the sun") is a common sequence of asanas . Its origins lie in a worship of Surya , the Hindu solar deity .
