Surya Namaskar - Sun Salutations Yoga has been practiced as a complete workout for thousands of years, but as it originated from the Indian sub-continent is often related to religion. God in itself being abstract and a concept has been c...onceived and linked to many such practices based on what people experienced or found happening to them. Performing a set of exercises facing the Sun brought certain benefits from exposure to the rays, but to bring about a discipline a religious intent was attached to it. Yoga is for everybody irrespective of religious affiliations, so lets take up this 30 day Surya Namaskar challenge! *** When performed slow, these postures help in muscle toning but the same if done at a faster pace serves as a good cardio workout. *** Yoga postures were a part of daily routine so no rest days were advocated, but if you want you could break them into 5 days each and a rest day in between. Start with 5 / day and increase every 6th day by another 5 ending up with 30 Surya Namaskars for the last set of 5 days.See More
