What is Surya Kriya?
Surya Kriya is a powerful, ancient yogic practice designed to align the body, mind, and energy with the sun—the fundamental source of life. It is a gentle yet deeply effective process that activates the solar plexus, enhances vitality, and brings inner stability.
​
Unlike conventional yoga sequences, Surya Kriya is a complete spiritual process rather than just physical exercise. It is suitable for those seeking to:
-
Build strength and flexibility
-
Balance the body’s energy system
-
Improve focus and mental clarity
-
Experience a deep meditative state
Surya Kriya is the origin of the more commonly known Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), but it is a more subtle and refined practice.
