The simple Surya Namaskar that has
been practiced in India for years has recently found a whole lot of
takers.
And if you want a good start to your day, what better than the Surya
Namaskar, which is known to have a host of health benefits. There are 12
different poses to do in a Surya Namaskar and you’re known to have
finished a complete round when you’ve performed two consecutive sets.
- You don’t need to be doing yoga regularly in order to practice the
Surya Namaskar. If performed correctly, this exercise does not strain or
cause injury. If performed in the morning, it relieves stiffness,
revitalises your body and refreshes the mind. Do it during the day and
it will instantly boost you up, practice it after sundown and it helps
you unwind.
- Not only does the Surya Namaskar give you a great stretch and keep you
fit physically (it is extremely beneficial for your joints, ligaments
and improves flexibility and posture), but is also does wonders for your
mental and emotional health.
- Surya Namaskar stimulates almost every system in your body - the
cardiovascular system because it keeps the heart strong and, the
digestive system as well as the nervous system.
- It also makes endocrinal glands like the thyroid, parathyroid and
pituitary glands, function normally.
- Practising the Surya Namaskar regularly is also known to ease stress
and give you peace of mind besides increasing your levels of
concentration.
- If you have trouble sleeping at night, the Surya Namaskar will help
you fall asleep without using any external stimulants.
