Surya Namaskar: The Ministry of AYUSH Guide to Stress-Free Living

The Ministry of AYUSH has officially recommended Surya Namaskar as a premier practice for fostering a stress-free and resilient life. This ancient yogic sequence, consisting of 12 powerful postures, is designed to harmonize the body, breath, and mind. By performing these 12 poses, practitioners can experience a significant reduction in cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone, while simultaneously improving physical flexibility and cardiovascular health. The Ministry emphasizes that consistent practice acts as a shield against the pressures of modern lifestyle, building long-term emotional resilience.
