yoga poses and benefits


It means that one Surya Namaskar goes for one minute (and a bit more).  At the beginning of the practice, one Surya Namaskar consumes 02.30 KCL. This exercise burns out a lot of calories and reduces body mass and body weight also.  When practiced in the morning, Surya Namaskar relieves a person from stiffness, energizes the whole body and refreshes his mind. During the day, it is a rejuvenating alterative to caffeine, and at night, Surya Namaskar can help you relax and get a good night's sleep. It is a physical exercise where almost 95% to 97% of your muscles are switched on to active mode.

Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation), if performed correctly, is completely safe yoga poses that do not cause any strain or injury in the body.  This post goes outside my comfort zone of my fave, Surya Namaskar.  This is said by some yoga experts that twenty-four Surya Namaskar, if done properly, are equal to five hundred sit-ups / pull-ups. So perform Surya Namaskar every day to keep yourself fit for all day long.
