Surya Namaskara

Surya Namaskara 
("Salute to the Sun"), is a form of worshiping Surya, the Hindu solar diety by concentrating on the Sun, for self vitalization. Surya namaskara gives equal weightage to both exercise and posture.

The physical base of the practice links together twelve asanas in a dynamically performed series. A full round of Surya namaskara is considered to be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in the second set to moving the opposite leg first through the series. Generally Surya namaskara is performed before performing "asanas".
