New Delhi, December 2 (IANS). Due to unbalanced lifestyle, many people struggle with mental and physical problems, but there is no need to practice for hours daily to keep yourself energetic throughout the day. For this only Surya Namaskar is enough.
It is said that Surya Namaskar is not just a sequence of asanas, but a complete spiritual practice connecting body, breath and mind. This is a dynamic sequence of yoga postures, which affects every part of our body.
Surya Namaskar is a group of 8 asanas (Pranamasana, Hasta Uttanasana, Hasta Padasana, Ashwa Sanchalanasana, Dandasana, Ashtanga Namaskar, Bhujangasana and Parvatasana), which improves energy and blood circulation throughout the body. It strengthens the lungs and removes the problem of mucus.
According to the Ministry of AYUSH, Surya Namaskar is a holistic yoga practice that improves both physical and mental health. Practicing it daily increases physical strength and flexibility of the body, improves blood circulation and reduces stress and anxiety.
It strengthens digestion and immunity. It is a group of 8 asanas, consisting of a total of 12 steps, which energize the body and improve overall health.
By doing Surya Namaskar, muscles become active and metabolism of the body increases, due to which weight decreases rapidly. Do it slowly in the initial days and increase its steps with time, so that the body can get more benefits.
To do this, first of all stand straight on the yoga mat and while saying Namaste and breathing, move the hands back towards the waist and tilt the head and upper torso back a little. Now exhale and bend forward from the waist. Place the palms on the ground next to the feet. Keep the knees straight (can bend slightly in the beginning). While inhaling, extend the right leg long back. The left knee should remain bent. Raise your head, look ahead. Now take the other leg back and balance your body between hands and legs. The face should be towards the feet. Now keep the knees, chest and chin on the ground and hold for a few seconds.
Now slowly lift the body up and tilt the head backwards.
After this, while holding the breath, first touch the knees, then the chest and finally the chin with the ground and keep the hips slightly raised and while breathing, raise the upper part of the body up to the navel. Keep the elbows slightly bent. Tilt the head back. Now lift the body up and turn the head inwards, keeping your legs and arms straight. Bring the first leg forward and keep the head upward. Now bring both the legs together and bend down again.
Slowly straighten the body and bend backwards by raising the hands up. Now straighten the body and join hands and come to the starting position.
By doing Surya Namaskar daily, you can take special care of your health, but if you have serious health problems, then avoid doing it or consult a doctor.
