Practice: Sanskrit Count
It is a count in Sanskrit that is mainly used during Vinyasa in Ashtanga Yoga.
9 (Nava) in Surya Namaskara A (Sun Salutation A),
17 (Saptadasha) in Surya Namaskara B (Sun Salutation B),
counts up to.
Even if it is not Ashtanga Yoga, it is often used by Indian teachers in their lessons.
Ashtanga yoga teachers often use up to 10 in their lessons, so it is good to remember them.
