What is Surya Kriya ?
Surya Kriya is a potent yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health, wellness, and complete inner wellbeing. “Surya” means “sun,” and “kriya” means “inner energy process.” Surya Kriya activates the solar plexus to raise the samat prana, or solar heat, in the system. It also balances a person’s left and right energy channels, leading to stability of the body and stillness of the mind. This strong foundation becomes the basis to explore higher dimensions of life.

What is the difference between Surya Namaskar and Surya Kriya?
The world over, Surya Namaskar is practiced widely. What is Surya Kriya then and how is it different from Surya Namaskar? Surya Kriya is a potent yogic practice of tremendous antiquity. "Surya" means "sun," and "kriya" refers to an inner energy process. The original or the real practice is Surya Kriya. Surya Namaskar has been derived out of Surya Kriya and is also referred to as the country cousin of Surya Kriya. It is a way of aligning yourself with the sun and a much more refined process which needs enormous attention in terms of the geometry of the body. If you want a strong spiritual process in the physical practice that you are doing, then you do Surya Kriya.
