The sun is situated at the heart of our solar system and is believed to carry a lot of energy inside it. The solar plexus which is the central point of our body is said to be connected with the sun. Therefore for enhancing our solar plexus, we practice yoga which is named as Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation.
