108 Sun Salutation.




Surya Namaskara known in English as Sun Salutation (lit. "salute to the sun"), is a common sequence of Hatha yoga asanas. Its origins lie in a worship of Surya, the Hindu solar deity. This sequence of movements and poses can be practised on varying levels of awareness, ranging from that of physical exercise in various styles, to a complete sadhana which incorporates asana, pranayama, mantra and chakra meditation.
The physical base of the practice links together twelve asanas in a dynamically performed series. These asanas are ordered so that they alternately stretch the spine backwards and forwards. When performed in the usual way, each asana is moved into with alternate inhalation and exhalation (except for the sixth asana where the breath is held in external suspension). A full round of Surya namaskara is considered to be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in the second set to moving the opposite leg first through the series.
Some proponents of the use of Surya namaskara as part of the modern yoga tradition prefer to perform it at sunrise, which the orthodox consider to be the most 'spiritually favorable' time of the day.


Saw the picture above? We did that for 108 times, non-stop! of course i rested lar, or else i won't be here dy. Damn tiring lor! I wondered how the others managed to do it. They finished the whole thing with ease(?) They looked fine! Argh, i thought my arms are strong. They left without saying bye~ How sad. What's with me now are, a pair of jellyfish-like Parkinson arms =.=" And of course, sleepless night + sore arm resulting from cutting cabbage for an hour non-stop + hungry stomach = terrible combination. Not good, nono.


I cut a lot!

We had vegetarian potluck after that. Weird looking dishes and unusual taste =.=" They made us curious. And we looked like jakun to the rest lol. Our coleslaw has the most normal look i guess? Can't really enjoy the food despite the uniqueness of the dishes cause i can hardly poke a slice of apple with my fork. Neither can i raise my glass with my shaky arms omg. However, it was an ejoyable experience. Our very first time at the studio. Come again next time? No thanks! xD




Playing with them is fun but not taking care of them =.="





Aiya, I didn't take pictures of the food!
