Surya Namaskar - also known as Sun Salutations or Salutes, are a sequence of linked yoga poses that are designed to be practiced in the morning, but can also be done anytime, as a way to bring about greater mobility and alertness to the body and mind. They can also help develop flexibility and improved blood circulation.
