Complete Surya Namaskar Step-by-Step Guide
Hasta Uttanasana, also known as the Raised Arms Pose, is the second step in the traditional Surya Namaskar sequence and in this Gen S Life tutorial, Yoga Expert Ayushi Mishra breaks down the correct technique while guiding viewers through the entire Sun Salutation flow.
The session begins with an essential reminder: match every movement with your breath. This helps maintain rhythm, reduces fatigue, and allows your body to stretch deeply without strain.
The flow starts from Pranamasana, followed by inhaling into Hasta Uttanasana, where you stretch your arms overhead and gently arch back by pushing your hips outward. From there, you exhale into Padahastasana, inhale into Ashwa Sanchalanasana, and transition into Downward-Facing Dog.
The middle of the sequence features Ashtanga Namaskara, followed by the heart-opening Bhujangasana, before lifting back into Downward Dog. The instructor emphasizes ending with the same leg you began with, maintaining structural alignment in the sequence.
The left side immediately follows, completing one full round. Ayushi recommends performing 4 sets (8 rounds) daily for improved blood circulation, better breathing, increased flexibility, and reduced stress and anxiety.
This complete Surya Namaskar routine showcased by Gen S Life helps strengthen the spine, activate the core, and energize the entire body making it an ideal practice for all age groups.
