In Hindu mythology, the sun god is worshipped as a symbol of health and immortal life. The sun is the source of all life and energy on this planet. The Rig Veda declares that “Surya is the Soul, both of the moving and unmoving beings”. The Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskara – सूर्य नमस्कार) originated as a series of prostrations to the sun. Traditionally, it is performed at dawn, facing the rising sun.
The Sun Salutation is a graceful sequence of twelve positions performed as one continuous flow. Each position stretches the body in a different way and alternately expanding and contracting the chest to regulate the breathing. The sequence also flexes and stretches the spinal column through its maximum range giving profound stretch to the whole body. Practiced daily it will bring great flexibility to your spine and joints and trim your waist. It limbers up the whole body in preparation for the other Asanas (postures) that are practiced as part of a regular yoga routine. Practice of Surya Namaskara offers benefits at the physical, physiological, mental and deeper levels.
