I'm into meditation exercise. I like the peace I feel after meditating. One form of meditation that is popular is yoga. Now, I haven't really studied yoga myself, but my mom did when I was a kid and we used to copy what she did when she would exercise at home. I did a little research on the net and I came across this site on yoga and the exercises for the Sun Salutation looked like something I could do. Here's a description and a tutorial on how to execute it.
 | Posture: Surya-namaskar - Sun Salutation
Pronounciation: soor-yee-ah-nahma-skar
Translation: The Sanskrit word surya means sun. Namaskar is the Hindi word for Namaste, from the root nam, to bow. Namaskar means salutation, salute, greeting or praise. |
