•If you’re facing a time crunch or want to feel fit but don't know how, then Surya Namaskar is the solution. The best part about it is that it works well for busy people who often complain about not being able to do yoga because of lack of time. Doing at least 12 sets of Surya Namaskar, preferably at sunrise, at a fast pace provides a good cardiovascular workout. If done at a slower pace, these poses help tone the muscles and can be relaxing and meditative. And, it allows you to enjoy the stretch and makes the body more flexible.

•Surya Namaskar forms an excellent link between warm-ups and intense yoga postures. Start your early morning yoga routine with some warm-up stretches to ease out body stiffness. You can then do a few rounds of Surya Namaskar to help increase body flexibility and also prepare the body to stretch more during the intense yoga posture sequence.

•Surya Namaskar is considered a complete body workout. Yoga experts say that doing 12 sets of Surya Namaskar translates into doing 288 powerful yoga poses in a span of 12 to 15 minutes.

•One round of Surya Namaskar consists of 12 yoga poses. One set consists of two rounds of Sun Salutation: first stretching the right side of your body and then the left side. So, when you do 12 sets of Surya Namaskar, you are completing 12 sets x 2 rounds in each set x 12 yoga poses in each = 288 yoga poses within 12 to 15 minutes.
