Sun has been the sacred force of nature from the very beginning of human civilization. Even it is worshipped in many religions. As yoga is a group of practices which cover the physical, mental and spiritual balance, sun salutation is a part of it.
People take the sun as a metaphor for the power of life and the soul.
At the moment of the rising sun, making a salute before it is called a sun salutation. For making this position one is to press both palms of hands and raise them vertically over the head. By doing this yoga, a person gets strength and lives disease-free life. In yoga, it is believed that the man who does this can live longer, gets wisdom and feels peace of mind.
