ABSTRACT

“Surya Namaskar” is a sanskrit word which means obeisance or prostrations (Namaskar) to the sun (Surya). It implies that one should rise before sun rise (in Brahama muhurat- 1:45 Hours before sunrise) in order to do this exercise or pay obeisance to the rising sun. Of course this exercise is good no matter what time you may do it, but it is best done while the stomach is empty. It is a yogic exercise which consists of twelve postures, one following another, in a fixed, cyclic order to ensure improvement and good health in one’s digestion, agility, rejuvenation, beauty and longevity. It will also help one to lose weight and trim the waist. There is no equipment to buy. You just need a little space in your apartments or home.
