What are the 12 forms of sun breathing

Sun breathing, also known as Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation, is a sequence of 12 yoga postures that are performed in a specific order. Each posture is coordinated with the breath and is designed to provide a full-body workout that energizes and balances the body and mind. The 12 forms of sun breathing are as follows:

1. Pranamasana (Prayer Pose)
2. Hasta Uttanasana (Raised Arms Pose)
3. Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)
4. Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose)
5. Dandasana (Stick Pose)
6. Ashtanga Namaskara (Salute with Eight Parts)
7. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
8. Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog Pose)
9. Ashwa Sanchalanasana (Equestrian Pose)
10. Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)
11. Hasta Uttanasana (Raised Arms Pose)
12. Tadasana (Mountain Pose)

Each of the 12 postures in sun breathing is performed in sequence, with each movement coordinated with the breath. The sequence is typically repeated several times in a row, with the practitioner moving continuously from one posture to the next. This practice is often used as a warm-up for other yoga poses or as a standalone practice to energize and balance the body and mind.
