Sivananda Sun Salutation - an ideal way to start your yoga practice and your day

The sun salutation was developed many thousands of years ago. The sages of ancient India expressed their reverence for the sun by bowing to it every day.

Hatha Yoga is the body oriented part of Yoga. Ha=Sun, Tha=Moon, Yoga=Unity/Harmony.

So the yoga addresses the physical body as well as the energy envelope and the mental-emotional envelope.
