Namaste Singhi,
The first Asanopaveshanam Mantra, previously given, surely is used in the Yajurvedi Sandhya.
While reciting this mantra, touch the ground with the little finger of the right hand.
Yajur-Vedi Sandhya:
1. Vishnu Smarana
2. Acamana
3. Shikha Bandhana
4. Kha Sparsha
5. Pavana
6. Asanopaveshana
7. Sandhya Sankalpa
8. Kara Nyasa
9. Anga Nyasa
10. Dhyana & Avahana
11. Pranayama
12. Acamana
13. Marjana
14. Avabritha
15. Aghamarsana
16. Upasparsha
17. Suryarghya Dana
18. Suryopasthana
19. Gayatryavahana
20. Gayatryupasthana
21. Gayatri Dhyana
22. Gayatri Japa
23. Japa Nivedana
24. Surya Pranama
25. Gayatri Visarjana
26. Devata Visarjana & Prarthana
27. Deva-Brahmana Namaskara
28. Parisista
Thanks Sarabhanga for this info.
I see yajur vedi sandhya has elements what we generally associate later hindu upasana.
The other 3 sandhyas in particular samvedic sandhya doesn not have asan saudha and nyasas??
Can you in your time post the samvedic sandhya steps...
Many Thanks

Namaste Singhi,
The first steps of the Yajurvedi Sandhya (up to Sandhya Sankalpa) should also be assumed for the Samavedi Sandhya, which then proceeds:
1. Acamana
2. Marjana
3. Pranayama
4. Acamana
5. Punarmarjana
6. Aghamarshana
7. Suryopasthana
8. Gayatryavahana
9. Rishi Nyasa
10. Anga Nyasa
11. Gayatri Dhyana
12. Gayatri Japa
13. Gayatri Visarjana & Prarthana
14. Atma Raksha
15. Rudra Upasthana
16. Brahma Yajna

Namaste Arjuna,
The well known Surya Namaskara sequence was popularised by Shri B.K.S. Iyengar, and his style of performing various Asanas in a flowing series (treating the practice of Asana more like a dance) seems to come largely from his own inspiration.
I have heard that Iyengar's Guru (Shri T. Krishnama ?) taught him the Surya Namaskara and told him to practise only those Asanas until they were perfected. Iyengar spent only a short time with his Guru, leaving after about 3 years to begin teaching Yoga.
Iyengar Yoga was invented by Iyengar himself, although the popular Surya Namaskara sequence presumably comes from his Guru's tradition.

This seems to be a case. My friend who is a Nath-yogi told me that Surya-namaskara is a recent development. In fact all disciples of Sri Krishnamacharya developed their own yogas which are rather commercial products made for money-possessing target groups and not a traditional systems.
I also assume U are right that Surya-namaskara might have come from Krishnamacharya (or even maybe from his Guru; this can be known if we fid out what Sri Ranganatha, a gurubhai of Krishnamacharya, taught regarding this).
Rather probably, Surya-namaskara in its modern form was a development under influence of british people, who brought european gymnastics to India. However, the very idea of Sun-worship is very ancient, as well as a concept of Dvadashaditya.
