Ep 210 Adam Keen – Unravelling the History of Surya Namaskar

Adam Keen delves into the practice of Surya Namaskar, exploring its historical roots, cultural significance, and evolution over time. He discusses how Surya Namaskar is often misunderstood as merely a warm-up in yoga, while it has its own distinct identity and purpose. The conversation highlights the intertwining of physical fitness, religious practices, and national pride in the development of Surya Namaskar, particularly in the context of modern yoga. Keen emphasizes the importance of understanding the varied uses and contexts of Surya Namaskar to enrich one's practice.
