Surya Kriya
Surya Kriya is a potent yogic practice of tremendous antiquity, designed as a holistic process for health ,wellness and complete inner well-being .”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 Kriya & Surya Namaskar
One solar cycle is about twelve and a quarter years. If our physiological cycles run in sync with Sun’s cycles, physical health will be great, mental health will be perfect and life will happen effortlessly. So , how are we to get in tune with the Sun so that our cycles run in twelve years cycles, not less ? Sadhguru talks of three processes to align with the Sun, the most profound being Surya Kriya. Placing them in context, Sadhguru calls the widely practiced Surya Namaskar “country cousin” of Surya Kriya. while yet another process called Surya Shakti would be a “far-off relative”. He elaborates :”If you want to just use this system as a physical culture to become physically strong, you do Surya Shakti. If you want to be physically fit, you want to have aerobic exercise and you want to have your heart strong , but you also want to have a spiritual element in it, you do Surya Namaskar. But if you want a strong spiritual process in the physical process that you are doing, then you do Surya Kriya”.
