Yoga is
defined as a spiritual practice adopting specific body postures, breathe
control & simple meditation. This is widely practiced for health and
relaxation.
Surya
Namaskar is a powerful yoga practice that works on each and every part of the
body. Surya Namaskar means gesture to sun or sun salutation.
It is essential to
understand the science behind this ancient technique. The
international journal of yoga and allied sciences published many articles on
Surya Namaskar stating that it effects on emotional and psychological
well-being. Surya Namaskar is a graceful sequence of twelve asanas (positions) performed as one
continuous exercise. A person who practices Sun Salutation regularly will notice significant
improvements in their lives, both physically and spiritually. Surya Namaskar directly impacts on
the Solar plexus in the human body. Solar plexus (celiac plexus), is a complex
network of radiating nerves in the central part of abdomen. It’s found in the
pit of the stomach. It plays an important role in the functioning of the
stomach, kidneys, liver, and adrenal glands. Surya Namaskar can help us in many ways. Surya Namaskar
is a full-body workout. One set of this exercise burns about 13.90 calories
whereas doing it for 30 minutes can burn up to 416 calories.
