I'm even more surprised that you didn't realize that full prostration generates inner heat. You don't get the inner heat unless you get down on your hands and knees and do the full praanam. Almost all yogis know that Hatha Yoga is Kundalini Yoga. And, Hatha Yoga produces heat. In fact, all activity produces heat! But, what is referenced in the Surya Praanam is specifically 'inner heat', the heat that burns up karma. http://media.yogajournal.com/wp-content/uploads/201506-yjmag-kundalini-astanga-pranm.jpg http://media.yogajournal.com/wp-content/uploads/201506-yjmag-kundalini-astanga-pranm.jpg Source: Yoga Journal, Sun Salutation - Surya Praanam ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : The Hindu/Yoga Sun Salutation has no hands-and-knees pose (and no on-the-knees pose either, for that matter). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : 6.
