Surya Namaskar - Sun Salutation

Thought I'd keep with the roll of yoga.


Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutations.
Surya, the sun, is the Hindu solar deity.
A sequence of asanas or poses are performed to build strength and awareness to the physical body, mind and soul.  There are a total of 8 different asanas in the sequence of 12 asana changes.
Benefits of Surya Namaskar - 
  • your consciousness is raised
  • develop inner peace 
  • rekindle your drooping spirit
  • face glows - balance of mind, body and spirit
  • detoxification of body and mind
  • mental clarity and concentration

  • loosens excess belly fat
  • regulates menstrual cycle
  • reduces anxiety and restlessness 
  • enhances strength and vitality 
  • various poses help regulate blood flow
