If you have practiced Yoga before, you know that Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations) is a must. It is a series of 12 postures that energize your body and more specifically the solar plexus. Usually, it is a warm up before doing asanas, but you can also practice it 108 times in a row. This intense practice will increase your flexibility, your core strength, your stamina and has also cleansing effects on chakras and mental. Why 108 times? According to the Hindu traditions, 108 is a sacred number (108 Upanishads, 108 names of deities, 108 sacred marma points in the body, 108 mala beads for Hindu prayers etc.).
