NATYA PATH
Follow our step-by-step namaskaram tutorial! Scroll to the bottom for a tutorial video.
Katakamukha on both hands, right in front of your chest. (Not too high up!) Make sure your elbows are not drooping. You should be standing, feet together.
Stamp one leg, then the other. Make sure to kick your bottom when stamping!
Put both hands in Shikaram, and place them on your shoulders, thumbs touching shoulder. Elbows up!
Trace a half circle with each hand and touch them together below, thumbs facing out. (See video for clarification).While doing this, you must sit into Muzhumandi. (See Postures section).
While in Muzhumandi, change your hands into Chatura. (See Mudras section). Then, touch the ground with your fingers while in Chatura.
Now, hands still in Chatura, touch your eyes with your fingers. You should still be in Muzhumandi.
Put your hands in Anjali.
While keeping hands in Anjali, get up from Muzhumandi and stand with feet together.
