Surya Namaskar or salutation to the Sun is a very old tradition and way to respect or gratitude towards Sun that is a source of life on Earth. Just learning to perform Surya Namaskar is not just enough but it is essential to learn and understand the science behind it. A deeper understanding about the ancient technique would help in bringing right outlook as well as approach towards the yogic and sacred technique of Surya Namaskar

Knowing the significance of the Surya Namaskar, Hindu SwayamSevak Sangh is organizing Surya Namaskar Leher in Phoenix, Arizona, on 16 of January 2016. The organizers are inviting all the enthusiasts to be a part of it. The sacred technique is a complete body workout with advantage of stress relief. The manifold benefits include keeping the body healthy and the mind calm. Thus, yoga experts recommend a regular practice of Surya Namaskar.

Benefits of Surya Namaskar

Science behind Surya Namaskara: Surya Namaskar practice boosts the body (through the physical movements of the body), the mind (though the solar plexus) and the spirit (through the chants). The solar plexus is the central point of the body, located behind the naval. This point is said to be connected with the Sun. And this is why ancient Rishis recommended the practice of Surya Namaskar, which enhances ones’ intuitive beliefs as well as creativity.

Preferred time for Surya Namaskara: Preferably, Surya Namaskar is practiced as the time of Sun rise. Surya Namaskar includes a set of 12 posters, improving the blood circulation all through the body, maintaining health, remaining free from diseases.  Numerous body organs get benefitted from Surya Namaskar including heart, intestine, stomach, liver, chest, throat, legs, etc. The postures also act as warm-ups and the asanas can be performed on empty stomach at any time of the day. Doing Surya Namaskar in the afternoon energizes the body, helps body to unwind the body if performed at dusk time. Surya Namaskar is an excellent cardiovascular workout when done at a faster weight, besides helping in losing weight.

Benefits of Surya Namaskara for kids and women: Surya Namaskar benefits kids vastly by improving concentration, calming mind, reducing anxiety and restlessness. Kids can gain strength and vitality by regular practice of the yogic technique. Children aged five can begin to learn and perform Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskars help amazingly to health-conscious women. Few poses help in stretching of abdominal muscles, loosing extra belly fat, bringing radiance to the face, keeping menstrual cycle regular and stimulating thyroid gland.

Sixth Sense with Surya Namaskara: Regular practice of Surya Namaskar as well as meditation helps in increasing the size of the solar plexus from an almond to the size of a palm. The expansion is termed as ‘second brain’ that develops intuitive ability to turn more clear and adaptive. The contraction of the solar plexus leads to negative tendencies like depression
