Surya Namaskar Asana, or Sun Salutation Asana, is another name for Ashtanga asana. It is a collection of 12 postures, each with its own set of benefits. The essence of this asana is a salutation to the Sun god, who is the source of all energy in the universe. So, while we are saluting the sun god, we are also benefiting our bodies. Because of the important role, it plays in our lives, this asana becomes very important. The composition of these poses, in its own unique way, aids in the creation of a fit and fine body for you.
A cardio workout in a gym would include aerobics, skipping, running, jogging, and cycling. You will be able to reap all of the benefits of going to the gym by practising Ashtanga Namaskar. On the other hand, a gym membership would be more expensive than your yoga pose.
It easily flexes your body while providing one of the best massages to each and every curve in your body. It also works out externally during the process of internal massaging. Your body serves as an incubator for the generation of a power source for your body. It also aids in the purification of your body.
It becomes very beneficial to the heart and helps the cardiac muscles and arteries by toning it greatly. Every step of this asana turns out to be a lovely gift for your body. The synchronised breathing technique assists you in expelling toxins that are harmful to your body. The 12 poses must be performed in a specific order. It entails a process of inhaling and exhaling that must be strictly followed. Along with the poses, you can chant some Mantras to help your body create synergy.
The meditating mind raises awareness of the world’s existence. Your mind is overflowing with confidence, which you have been lacking for a long time. The mind and body work in tandem to help your soul lighten up, which is easily visible on your radiant face.
This exercise is not only about getting in shape physically, but also about learning about the inner chakras. The concentration level is what allows this pose to succeed. The specific mantra that is chanted in conjunction with the pose aids in creating that sense of concentration.
This is a difficult asana that will take a lot of practice to master. People with good stamina and no health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease, hernia, intestinal tuberculosis, and many others can do this pose. As a result, anyone attempting the asana should consult their doctor as well as their yoga instructor.
The 12 poses of Ashtanga Namaskar are very important because each asana must be done in a very specific way that helps to create its usefulness to your body.
