Below are listed the twelve steps for performing the Surya Namaskar, including the "Astanga Pranam" asana position five. It's not complicated, although some yoga teachers like to make it so by adding some extra steps along with breathing techniques and bija mantras for each position.

I'm surprised you didn't know that "salute" refers to "bowing down" to God Surya. I'm even more surprised that you didn't realize that full prostration generates inner heat. You don't get the inner heat unless you get down on your hands and knees and do the full praanam. Almost all

It's not really that complicated. So, I just don't see a problem with praying to God that your kids don't get their brain damaged playing football. What could go wrong with a simple prayer? I mean, that's the least you could do. What good does it do to shout OMG! - after the kid gets a
