Surya
Namaskar for good sleep
|
Sometimes very little
physical activity can make you restless and hyper
active in your brain because of excessive energy.
It is important to have some form of exercise as the
mind slows down and as the body speeds up. The Surya
Namaskar is a great way to increase your heart rate,
sweat a little and utilise every part of your body
so that every cell feels the impact of the exercise.
If practiced every morning it will keep you energetic
during the day and make you sleepy at night.
Caution:
Should
not be practiced by those with acute high blood pressure,
heart diseases, hernia. Those with acute back conditions
should be cautious and discontinue if the condition
is aggravated.
