1. Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation)
The suryanamaskar or sun salutation helps to detoxify your body. It is very effective in the morning after many hours of lack of movement during sleep. Sun salutations tone up the internal abdominal organs by alternate stretching and compression cycles that aid in better digestion and bowel movement. It also helps to avoid fat build-up and aids weight loss. Try to do at least two rounds to notice and feel the difference.
