It typically consists of twelve different poses and unlike gentle stretching; it has a nice effect on the internal body parts of a person such as heart because it is repeated at a pace that stimulates the entire cardiovascular system as well as the respiratory system. If you do the sequence slowly this won’t occur that good, but if you repeat it twelve to fifteen cycles without pausing then you will feel the effect, you can feel the increase heart rate of your breathing and circulation.

What is unique about this series of practice is that it not only tones the muscles but there is a strengthening as well and stretching of muscles.
