Surya Namaskar & Its Health Benefits

‘Sun Salutations’, also better known as ‘Surya Namaskars’ in Sanskrit, is a renowned yoga flow that comprises 12 Asanas. It is one of the most graceful yoga routines that not only energies the body and stimulates muscles, but also has multiple health benefits. It is usually performed in the morning, as it is a tribute to the Sun – the main energy giver. It is believed that this quick practice, when done as a continuous routine, generates ‘prana shakti’ (life energy) throughout the body that vitalizes and balances the chakras. 

To provide maximum results, it should be performed three times daily and works best when performed at dawn, keeping you invigorated and revitalized through the day!
