Yoga has the power to energise the body while also bringing mental calmness. Surya Namaskar is one of the most effective, common and performed asanas in yoga. It is one of the very few workouts that doesn’t require any machinery. Surya Namaskar aids in bolstering the back, joints, and muscles in general. Surya Namaskar, the term, literally translates as ‘bowing down to the Sun’.
The planet Earth gets its energy from the Sun. The Sun is involved in everything, including how we breathe, what we eat, and how life endures. This asana sometimes referred to as the ‘Sun Salutation’, consists of 12 poses that correspond to the phases of the sun.
Here are a few benefits of doing Surya Namaskar:

The purpose of Yoga Day is to raise awareness of how important yoga is for maintaining both physical and mental wellness.
