			The sun salutation is associated with the concept of rhythm. Its consistent repetition, round after round, reflects the rhythm of the universe, which is expressed, for example, in the two 12-hour periods of the day, the 12 months of the year and the 12 signs of the zodiac, as well as in the body’s own rhythms.<ref name=":SatSar3">Swami Satyananda Saraswati:[https://archive.org/details/suryanamaskarate0000saty/page/4/mode/2up ''Surya Namaskara''] 2nd edition reprinted.
