Soorya Namaskaar
Soorya Namaskaar is an age old Vaidik practice. It is also called "Arun Prashn" and it is often performed along with Mrityunjaya Jap, and Nava Graha Poojaa. This Soorya Namaskaar is part of Taittireeya Aaranyak of Yajur Ved, is considered as most significant worship of Soorya Bhagavaan. This Arun Prashn performed by a group of Vaidik scholars (usually 8, 16, 32 scholars in that order chant and perform it). It contains 32 Anuvaak or chapters with 130 Panchaati or paragraphs, where at the end of every Panchaati it is customary to perform Namaskaar to Soorya. With Poorvaang and Uttaraang Poojaa, this is then followed by Nava Graha Mantra.

In the olden days Soorya Namaskar was performed regularly by all communities - even Kshatriya and Vaishya too. That is a set of priests chant the Mantra and everyone participating members does the Namaskaar. Soorya represents both Vishnu and Shiv so both Vaishnavaites and Shaivites performed Soorya Namaskaar. Both men and women participate in this. Men doing Saashtaang Namaskaar and women doing Panchaang Namaskaar at the prescribed junctions. This was especially done by family members when someone is sick for a prolonged time or for success in a particular endeavor.

In the olden days, it was also performed together by the entire village at the temple, as the main set of priests chant and everyone does the physical Namaskaar. The positive vibrations created by these Vaidik chants are very important for health and prosperity. Even just listening to these chants is considered a great boon for health and success. Participating in this Vaidik Soorya Namaskaar itself is an exercise only with so many physical Namaskaar.

Soorya Namaskaar in Yog, containing 12 Aasan (representing the 12 Aaditya) is indeed a the most powerful Hath Yog exercise.
