Surya Namaskar is a panacea for those living in cities and is very pressed for time and an opportunity to exercise adequately. In just ten minutes, your body gets a comprehensive and systematic workout. No other exercise routine can surpass it. It makes the body strong, supple and flexible and tones every part of the body. The back is bent and straightened, the abdomen is compressed and stretched, it loosens up all joints, flexes the muscles, massaging internal organs, and activates all the systems of the body.
Push the right leg as far back as possible; right knee on the floor, sole facing the ceiling. One should remember it is very important to look up.And one should try his best to place the left leg in the space between the two palms.
1. Physical posture: There are twelve physical postures (asanas), which correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac. During the sun’s apparent journey through the heavens it passes through each of zodiac, and is said to triumph over each sign as it enters its domain.(We'll see the 4th posture here featuring Bhaumik and Vikrant doing it , but the ryhythm was preety fast so it may look a bit improper :) )
2. Breathing: The whole movement of Surya Namaskar from the start to finish is synchronised with breathing. Each position is associated with inhalation, exhalation or retention of breathe. Nothing is forced or unnatural, for the breathing corresponds to the pattern one would normally do in relation to the physical movement.
3. Awareness: This is an essential element of Surya Namaskar. Without awareness the many beneficial results are reduced.
One must relax by sleeping in Shava Asana after the surya namaskars for a while and/or meditate for few minutes.
