There will be no life on the earth without the sun, and the Surya Namaskaras or the Sun Salutations, as they are popularly called, are an ancient method of showing gratitude or paying respect to the sun that is the source of all forms of life on the earth.

The ancient yogis say that the different parts of the body are governed by different devas or divine impulses of light. The Surya Namaskaras are a complete body workout. Doing 12 sets of this exercise translates into doing 288 powerful yoga asanas in a span of 12 to 15 minutes. The Surya Namaskaras also form an incredible link between the warming-up poses and the intense yoga asanas.
