    4 Anti-Aging Yoga Poses

    4 Anti-Aging Yoga PosesYoga is one of the best anti-aging activities a senior citizen can participate in. Your loved ones will feel calm, relaxed and more in control of themselves than ever before when they practice this exercise. Yoga provides a variety of benefits and these particular poses are another way to keep the body young and strong.

     Downward Dog

    Downward dog may be one of the most recognized poses in yoga. The body should resemble an upside down v and be all straight lines. The majority of the weight in downward dog flows down through the shoulders, down the arms and into the hands.

    This particular position has a few wonderful benefits. Your loved one should see an increased strength in the arms, shoulders, hands and the legs, preventing osteoporosis from developing in these body parts.

    Be A Tree

    Vrikshasana, also referred to as the tree pose, is a great position for the senior in your life to practice. This stance is done standing up, balancing on the right leg with the foot of the left leg resting gently against the right leg’s knee.

    By practicing the vrikshasana, seniors or those of any age will experience not just stronger legs, but stronger pelvic muscles as well. Your family member will also find that the tendons and ligaments in their feet begin to get stronger, lending to a more stable body. The senior in your life will find that a stable body means falling less, thus resulting in less broken bones.

    The Chair

    The chair position is a strong, powerful exercise that anyone can practice, no matter how much or how little experience someone has. This yoga pose resembles the squat exercise, but with a slight modification of stretching arms to the sky, in order to execute the chair position properly.

    If practiced on a regular basis, your loved one will begin to experience some amazing physical benefits. The chair pose supports and strengthens all of the large joints in the body, including the hips and knees, which can be troublesome areas for seniors. Having a strong core is important to stay healthy and this yoga position gives the core a vigorous workout. Additional benefits include deeper, easier breathing and stronger legs.

    Legs Up On The Wall

    Legs up on the wall can seem like a silly name, so many people prefer to refer to this pose as viparita karani. This position is easy to do. To perform the pose, simply lay on the back next to a wall and then walk their legs up the wall. Encourage your loved one to keep their legs straight and their bottom up against the wall.

    This relaxing pose is one of the best anti aging poses that anyone can do. Not only does it encourage blood circulation, but it also can help reduce edema in the legs. The longer this pose is held, the calmer the mind and body become, lessening the amount of stress a person may be going through at that moment.

    Yoga won’t stop aging completely, but the results of a healthier body and mind can go a long way to extending a person’s life. Its calming effect on the mind and its ability to strengthen the body can help keep your loved one’s body as young as possible if they regularly participate in yoga exercises.
