Surya Namaskara
Sun Salutation
The Sun Salutation is a graceful sequence of twelve
positions performed as one continuous exercise. Each position
counteracts the one before, stretching the body in a different way and
alternately expanding and contracting the chest to regulate the
breathing. Practised daily, it brings great flexibility to spine and
joints and keeps the waist trim. It limbers up the whole body in
preparation for the asanas.
