Our body really knows how to “talk”, but not all of us are ready to hear it. Yoga includes exercises / asanas aimed at improving the functioning of the whole body. Well-being and youthfulness of the body in yoga is directly related to health. It’s no secret that problems with the gastrointestinal tract are reflected primarily on our face – not only in the form of rashes, but also in the form of wrinkles. According to Vedic ideas, projections of all internal organs are located on a person’s face in the form of points.
If you encounter persistent pimples on your forehead, it means that you have bowel problems.
If the problem area is on the cheeks, then something is wrong with the lungs and respiratory system.
Yoga helps to solve issues in a complex way, improving overall health and thereby rejuvenating the body from the inside.
Yoga classes are not aimed at rejuvenation, weight loss, muscle tightening or getting rid of osteochondrosis, although you will definitely get all this by practicing it. The concept of “yoga” implies not only the performance of certain asanas, it is also meditation and breathing practices, the task of all this is to learn to live in harmony with oneself, to accept oneself and to love oneself as nature has created. In addition, yoga helps to cope with psychological problems, such as accepting yourself and your age.
It is best to engage in the development of yoga in the classroom with an instructor, since many asanas have contraindications or some restrictions. There are courses for beginners, which include asanas that do not require special preparation, which you can do yourself at home.
Bandhasana (half bridge pose)
This asana helps to massage the internal organs and get rid of localized fat deposits. It is better to start performing this asana from a headstand or shoulder stand (“birch tree”).
Extend your legs towards the ceiling, then lower to the floor. You can first lower one leg, followed by the other.
The next step is to straighten your legs at right angles to the floor. Thus, you should get a bridge with support on the head, neck, elbows, wrists and feet.
Dhanurasana (onion pose)
The onion pose is designed to strengthen muscles, stretch the spine, and stimulate digestion.
To perform this pose, you need to take the starting position – lying on your stomach. In this case, the arms should be along the body.
Bend your knees and wrap your hands around your ankles.
Then lift your core by straightening your legs.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
One of the simplest and at the same time effective poses, which helps not only to improve the flexibility of the body, to stretch the spine, but also to get rid of the double chin, create a beautiful angle between the neck and chin, and tighten the oval of the face.
Starting position – lying on the floor, face down.
Next, you need to stretch the body and raise its upper part so that the support falls on the arms and legs. The result should be a beautiful body curve.
Halasana (plow pose)
The plow pose is referred to as “inverted” asanas. It is responsible for stimulating the thyroid gland and pituitary gland, accelerates metabolism, stretches the spine, stimulates the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, and normalizes the functioning of the genitals.
Starting position on the back.
Take a few breaths in and out to relax, then as you exhale, try to throw your legs behind your head. In this case, the legs can be either straight or slightly bent at the knees – this is at first not fundamental.
One of the important conditions for performing this asana is the maximum comfort that you should experience at the moment when you lock in the plow position. For comfort, you can use a rolled up towel or a small blanket under your head and another, if necessary, under the lumbar spine.
In the plow position, you need to spend from 2-5 minutes, performing breathing exercises.
Shaken (camel pose)
Another asana, the implementation of which will not only improve the condition of the spine, but also tighten the oval of the face, get rid of local fat deposits in the double chin.
To perform the asana, you need to kneel, while your feet should be pelvic width apart.
Pull your torso up, then lean back, bending over your lower back, placing your hands on your heels.
Shavasana (corpse pose)
At the end of your practice, remember to lie down in a relaxing position.
The starting position for performing the asana is lying, let your left and right sides of the body be as symmetrical as possible, hands should lie at an angle of 45 degrees from the body, palms up.
Close your eyes, get distracted from everything that surrounds you at the moment.
Listen to your breathing – breathe with your belly! Inhale quickly, exhale deeply. Relax and stay in this position for at least 5-10 minutes.
Shavasana helps to relax, remove all muscle clamps throughout the body, including the face. Savasana can be combined with meditation, which will help you learn to switch from external stimuli to internal sensations of the body, self-awareness and healing.
If you train daily and remember that any position of the body must be comfortable, you can achieve certain success in yoga even with independent practice.
