Seated Sun Salutation B (Seated Surya Namaskar B) is a beginner-level vinyasa flow variation of Sun Salutation. It is quite a similar and level-up variation of the Seated Sun Salutation. Followed in a kneeling position, herein, the spine is majorly stretched backward and forward and the grounding pose, Balasana, allows for a balanced and well-rounded practice. Seated Sun Salutation B is itself a good transition flow for Ustrasana and helps prepare for its advanced backbends. This yoga flow is a 16-count practice involving eleven primary poses, namely: Child Pose (Balasana) Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana) Kneeling Pose and its variations say Kneeling Pose Arms Raised and Kneeling Pose Hands To Back Camel Pose Variation 1 (Ustrasana Variation 1) Table Top Pose (Bharmanasana) Plank Pose Variation Knee To Ground (Variation) (Phalakasana Variation IV) Four Limbed Pose Variation with knees grounded and feet lifted Sphinx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana) Puppy Dog Pose (Uttana Shishosana) This dynamic and energizing flow, regardless of age and level of practice, can be included in yoga sequences for almost all, provided that they have healthy and active knees. However, Table Top Pose, Warrior Pose Ii, Standing Wind Release Pose, and Vajrasana will help strengthen the knees. This core yoga practice can be included in seasonal yoga practice with a focus on Vata balance, addressing factors like reducing heat in the body. Furthermore, the mindful coordination of breath with movement enhances the meditative aspect of the practice, fostering a deep sense of calm, energizing the body, reducing stress, and improving focus and concentration. This practice is a wonderful way to kick off the day mindfully, sweetly, and lovingly! Hence, this positive-hatha yoga flow can be included in morning yoga sequences. However, when practiced as a cool-down yoga routine, this flow helps release stiffness and tightness from the body and mind after a hard day at work. Therefore can be included in restorative yoga sequences. Seated Sun Salutation B is a combination of upward stretch and knee strengthening poses to build strength and balance in the body. It also helps increase flexibility in the muscles and the range of motion of the joints. As a result, it forms part of peak pose yoga sequences, to follow advanced flow yoga practices like Ashtanga Yoga. Included in Power Yoga sequences, this flow that combines traditional yoga postures with elements of strength training can be an effective tool for weight loss as it can help to increase metabolism and burn calories. Seated Sun Salutation B helps boost energy in the body and hence can be included in flow yoga sequences. Seated Sun Salutation B is considered a warm-up yoga pose to prepare the body for more intense yoga poses/yoga flows.
