Surya Namaskar Yajna (SNY) 2023
Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) Germany hereby announces the annual Yogathon: “Surya Namaskar Yajna (SNY)” from January 14th, 2022 (day before Makar Sankranti) till January 29th, 2023 (day after Ratha Saptami).
This 16-day event aims to create awareness about Yoga and its advantages in achieving a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Surya Namaskar, meaning Sun Salutation, has been practiced in Bharat for thousands of years. It integrates simple Yogasanas (Yoga postures) in 10-steps that, along with easy breathing technique, can provide immense health benefits to both the body and the mind.
Let us come together to benefit from this ancient fitness technique and let us aim towards a collective target of ‘51000 Suryanamaskars’ across Germany to spread the spirit of Yoga
