Yoga - Sun Salutations Certification
Why you should study with us
Yoga - Sun Salutations
Surya Namaskar is the Sanskrit word which means 'To salute the sun'.
This course will take you through a series of asanas, or poses, to create a graceful sequence of yoga positions.
This pattern of exercise is usually performed at sunrise or sunset in India. It is a perfect warm-up at the beginning of a Yoga session.
The flow gives mobility to the whole body. Salutations to the sun stretch and lengthen the joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Special attention is paid to the spine. The arrangement is executed in quick succession and combined with breathing. They are practised with intensifying pace until the entire body has warmed up and is prepared for additional asana practice.
There are many forms of the sequence, although in this course you will learn three of them. In the first Sun Salutation the whole sequence, which involves 12 asanas, is coordinated in a smooth flow, with attention given to correct breathing. Sun Salutation A and B are also demonstrated.
They follow a similar sequence with variations. Upward Dog, 3 Leg Dog, Chaturanga and Warrior 1 are among the fascinating poses included in these variations. The whole sequence emphasises grace, works muscles and joints and focuses on reconnecting with the pattern of one's breathing.
The sequence ends with the word Namaste which means 'The light in me recognises the light in you'. The spiritual dimension which underlies the exercise sequence is unmistakable but not strictly necessary for the exercises to be effective.
What you will learn:
- The exercise sequence for the Sun Salutations
- The importance of proper breathing.
- Basic yoga asanas and the importance of making them flow into a smooth dance-like sequence.
- Basic Sanskrit expressions.
- The names of the various yoga asanas and the related exercises.
- The long history behind these exercises and the spiritual dimension which underpins them.
Benefits of the course:
- To understand and practise basic yoga asanas or poses.
- Create an awareness of clarity of thought and calm, which you can use in your own life.
- To understand the importance of proper breathing.
- It will give you simple step-by-step demonstrations of the major yoga poses.
- It will teach you to be relaxed, focused and centred
- It will also show you that gentle exercise can make you toned, flexible and help you lose weight
- Become aware of and in tune with your body, which will help you detect any physical or psychological health problems.

I love this garden design course, I have been given the opportunity to learn more about garden design and maintenance so I can start my own gardening business
Andrew Ledwold
New Skills Academy is a fab place to go to if you’re wanting to start a course and further your career. Being a mother to 2 young children it is hard to find the time to complete a course and juggle life… thank goodness for New Skills Academy.
They put no pressure on you to finish your course by a certain time. They allow you to take your time and really understand what you’re learning. It’s easy to use, there is help when needed, a very modern design making it great for anyone to use. Fab place to learn.

Fantastic online course. Very informative, easy to follow sessions with a test facility at the end of each session. You can complete this at your own pace any time of day or night, without any pressure and there is even help if you need it with tutors online.
I would highly recommend New Skills Academy to anyone looking to gain a qualification but needs time to complete the course or cannot attend classes. I look forward to completing many more courses with you shortly. A great way of learning new skills, as the name of the company suggests with a recognised qualification.
Thank you New Skills.

This course was easy to read. I could take as long as I needed and go at my own pace and I was surprised to find that this was an accredited course recognised by my employer. It does what it says on the tin.
I would recommend to anybody wanting to gain knowledge in this area, to add to your education section on your CV or even just for fun! The certificate now looks nice in my achievements folder.
I would most definitely enrol in this way of learning again when I am ready to learn another new subject.
Stacey Cowan
I was a bit apprehensive about doing this course online but I needn't have worried. I was able to work through the modules at my own pace.
The course material was easy to understand and had some really useful and practical information and advice such as choosing a name for your business and the pitfalls of working from home.
I'm really, really glad I did this course as I am a home baker and it has provided lots of useful knowledge and tips to take my business forward.
The course has definitely given me the confidence to take my hobby to the next level.
Thank you

I have just completed the Level 3 Customer Services Diploma course. This course covers all aspects of what exactly customer service is and how somebody could be an excellent costumer representative.
Although I have 10 years work experience, I should admit that I found it quite interesting. This course is comprehensive and any professional can add some useful knowledge. It offers some essential tips for all who want to succeed in the customer service role.
The modules are well organised and understandable, so anybody can easily become familiar with the terminology. I do propose to anybody to attend this course.

Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.
Rob Coops
Lovely course for people who want to know the basics and of sign language. It's has helped me to get more of an understanding and will greatly benefit me in my workplace. So easy to pick up and the videos were easy to understand. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Chloe Hambly
Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.
Nichola Anderson
The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course
Ross Dunsten
Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years!
