About this title

Synopsis

The Salutation to the Sun dates back to Vedic times and is therefore three to six thousand years old; although the exact date remains unknown. In ancient India yoga exercises, breathing techniques and body control were extensively practised in many ashrams. The Salutation to the Sun arose from these yoga postures and techniques.
The Salutation consists of a number of movements which flow into each other and, together, form a self-contained whole. The exercise influences every part of the body including the nervous system, the circulation and respiration. The back and the pelvis can become supple again and, in time, the joints become stronger and more flexible. The blood circulation in the abdominal cavity improves and the intestines are activated, thus eliminating constipation. Muscular stiffness in the shoulders and neck disappears.
Join thousands of people who enjoy this natural, exhilarating exercise on a variety of levels of competence, fitness and persistence.
