With the flood of high quality helioseismic data from the instruments on the SOHO spacecraft (MDI/VIRGO/GOLF) and ground based instruments (e.g. GONG, LOWL, BiSON, IRIS, MWO-CrAO and TON) we have been able to get increasingly detailed information on the rotation and other large scale flows in the solar interior.

Here we will discuss some of the highlights of what we have learned so far and what we may expect to learn in the near future. Among the recent advances have been tighter constraints on the tachocline at the bottom of the convection zone and detection of details in the surface rotation rate similar to the torsional oscillations found in the surface Doppler shift.
