Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, is a series of twelve yoga poses performed in a sequence. It is traditionally practiced at sunrise to honor the sun, which symbolizes energy and vitality. Each pose is linked with breath, promoting physical strength, flexibility, and mental focus. This practice is often used as a warm-up for more intense yoga sessions or as a standalone exercise. Surya Namaskar can be adapted for all fitness levels and is beneficial for improving circulation, enhancing mood, and fostering mindfulness. Regular practice can lead to a balanced body and mind.
