Origin of the word "Yoga":

The word Yoga is derived from the sanskrit word "Yuj" meaning to connect or join as it is believed that yoga helps people unite inner soul and body. 21st June 2020 marks the 6th International Yoga Day.Apart from having religious roots, it has been scientifically proven that yoga disconnects us from the outer world to re-evaluate ourselves. Psychology involves meditation and yoga as one of the recovery procedures. 

One of the procedures is the Suryanamaskar or the Sun salutation.

Why are there 12 asanas in Suryanamaskar?

The number 12 signifies completion. It is known to belong to Pisces which is a spiritual sign that is in constant touch with the energies. Here, 1 signifies the beginning of singular nature of the universe and the number 2 signifies partnership and mutable nature of life.
