Everybody
knows how important maintaining ones health is! The everyday stress of work and
personal life takes a toll on the body mentally and physically. For instance take
up the food habits we follow these days, it’s bound to end up causing ill
health up to a certain degree without doubt! The illustrious and fulfilling
life we lead may also end up causing us harm inevitably somewhere in the future
and we might not have anyone but ourselves to blame! But what are we doing to
set it right? Are you doing anything about your health??
It’s been a long time since I’ve been practicing yoga,
while I may have gone off of it a few times, given the busy schedule- it was
one thing which I yearned to get back to. The benefits are innumerable and the
positive effect is the best you’ll ever see!
One of the basic asana or pose you come across when you
speak about yoga is the suryanamaskara or the sun salutation. It is a series of
asana circled together for a profound overall effect on every part of your body
staring from your eyes to the toes!
Today I will be talking about the benefits of the asana
involved in suryanamaskara!HOW TO DO SURYANAMASKARA
Suryanamaskara is the cycle of different poses done continuously
for 12 reps for the best results. It gets your heart rate up to a certain
degree, warms up your core muscles and engages it intensely and also makes you
break out a sweat.
There are 12 different asana which constitute to form
the total of suryanamaskara.

These set of 12 asana may seem simple, but the
innumerable benefits from this is incredible to behold. Depending on the
intensity with which the yoga is performed it has varying benefits.
Helps lose weight!
When these asanas are done in a faster pace
than normal, it acts as a cardiovascular exercise. Cardiovascular exercises are
the ones which help in shedding those extra pounds on your body. Done right and
executed correctly you’re in for a shock. All the power yoga comes from the
normal yoga done in a faster pace.
Stretches those stiff
muscles!
All of us know the pain of having sore
muscles and having gone to sleep, you end up waking with stiff muscles all
over. Yoga is the solution you’ve been searching for!
By doing suryanamaskara everyday you
not only wake up to a better morning but also you engage all your body muscles
and stretch out those stiff ones which will not cause you any more trouble. It
may hurt a little to engage those sore muscles in the beginning, but often times
the most difficult roads lead to beautiful destination.
Engages core muscles
Suryanamaskara is one of those exercises
which engages all your core muscles while performing and even after. It uses
your abdominal muscles mainly and helps you get a toned and trim tummy. Those
of you who are looking to lose a few inches around your tummy, then this is for
you.
By engaging your core muscles, it not only increases the strength of those muscles but also tones it down and aids in digestion.

Achieve mental relaxation!
Suryanamaskara not only has physical
benefits, but also mental benefits. The deep breathing technique followed
during the practice of suryanamaskara engages your mind completely and calms
you down. The deep breathing technique done along with poses in a cycle and
rhythm aids in mental relaxation. All this added with early hours of morning
gives you zest and peace of mind to begin your day, retaining that peace

skin.
