108 Surya Namaskar - What are they counting
I'm not sure if I should post here, or on Hinduism forum, as it is Yoga and Power workout.

I have been doing Surya Namaskar in the morning. I am comfortable at 30 rounds.

But according to tradition, they say reach to 108.

Just now, I read this article, www.stylecraze.com/articles/108-surya-namaskar-what-is-the-right-schedule-to-follow/, which touts the 108 repetitions.

But I get confused with the following

You know your body best, know your limits and be prepared for a delay
of a couple of days before you reach your ultimate goal of 54 sets of
Sun salutations.

I understand that one set of Surya Namaskar is a set of identical exercises, working the left and right sides of the body.

So I guess someone can count one set of Surya Namaskar as two rounds, i.e.

1 set = 2 repititions of yoga

Help, I am really confused.

Do they mean make 54 sets, i.e. 108 repetitions, or 108 sets?

I am thinking they mean 54 sets (i.e. one set around the Sun), but now I'm not too sure.

Any of you doing this?

so 108 sun salutations.One Suryanamaskar contains 12 asanas that complete one cycle, so one cycle per each leg (Right & left) complete one round. So 54 sets of this round will give 108 Sun salutations. Good luck.

The way I do it is not the hatha sin salutation that is all one but the Right and then only the Left. I do the Ashtanga vinyasa suryanamaskara A, which is only one. And I do the 108. I have heard some people do 54 suryanamaskara A and 54 suryanamaskara B.
