Yoga is dynamite to make you feel younger. When diseases and habits leading to degeneration are removed, one lives longer.
Inverted postures
The shoulder stand (sarvangasana) is sometimes called a “candle” because the body is kept straight as a candle in this posture.
Technique
- Lie flat on your back. Inhale deeply while raising your legs and spine until the toes point to the ceiling
- Your body now rests on your shoulders and the back of your neck. Place hands at the centre of the spine between the waist and the shoulder blades.
- Keep spine and legs straight
- Breathe slowly and deeply through the abdomen and concentrate on your thyroid gland
- To go back from this posture, just bend knees, curve back and slowly return to lying position while exhaling
Benefits
- Reverts grey hair to its natural colour and delays the onset of greying by increasing blood supply to the hair follicles
- Gets the thyroid gland working at peak efficiency. This gland is mainly responsible for correct weight and youthful appearance
- Regulates the sex glands and revitalises nerves, purifies blood and promotes good blood circulation
