The Surya Namaskaram, known as Sun Salutation, is practiced at the beginning of an asana session to warm up the body, and to acknowledge the inner sun and its profound role in regulating the body. Though the Sun Salutation comes in many forms, the classical version described below involves linking twelve asanas. Every movement is accompanied with long, deep breaths, performed continuously without a break, without variations or pauses. Every round is made up of 12 different positions giving various vertebral movements to the spinal column. This 10-minute practice can be a very good workout for the cardiovascular system when practiced at a faster pace. On the other hand, it can be very relaxing and reflective when practiced at a slower pace. As a result, vitality, confidence, ingenuity, instinctive and mental abilities increase.

I found that I shed a lot of weight by transitioning to a whole foods plant based diet and ensuring that I practiced yoga almost every single day.
I found that on a plant based diet I had a lot more energy which made the idea of exercising every day a lot easier when I wasn't waking up feeling exhausted. Also even if I only did some basic floor poses and stretched out for 20 minutes, I make sure I do some yoga every day even when I don't feel like it just to keep me in the habit.
In the end the constant routine of yoga has led to me losing weight, becoming leaner and more flexible over time. I like to do yoga in private as well, I'm not a yoga class kind of person, so I follow a home practice program but it has really worked out well for me.
