Surya Namaskar, or Sun Salutation, is a foundational sequence in yoga that combines physical postures, breath control, and mindfulness. It consists of a series of dynamic movements that flow together to energize the body and calm the mind. The positions of Surya Namaskar include 12 distinct poses, each designed to stretch and strengthen different muscle groups while promoting overall balance and flexibility. Practicing these positions regularly can support physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness.
