什么是拜日式瑜伽
拜日式是一种古老且为大家所熟知的强有力的瑜伽技巧，它是瑜伽姿势的综合，扎根于吠陀哲学。梵文名字“surya”指的是太阳，“namaskara”指“问候”。太阳象征精神意识，在古代，太阳每天都会受到敬拜。拜日的形式开始于远古时期，那个时候人类刚刚意识到自身和宇宙的精神力量。这种意识是瑜伽的基础。《太阳奥义书》中写到，将太阳神当作梵天敬拜的人会充满力量、积极活跃、智力超群、获得长寿。
Surya namaskara is an ancient and well known powerful yogic technique and it is a combination yoga postures. It’s roots can be traced to Veda philosophy of the Vedic tradition.
