Traditional Surya Namaskar - Sun Salutation

Surya Namaskar is the best Vinyasa Flow that anyone can practice daily. Many variations are available, depending on your age, practice level and flexibility; one can start with simple version and gradually challenge oneself. Surya Namaskar builds strength, brings stability, increases flexibility, and very good for anti-aging as it works on our seven energy centers (Chakras).

Nadi Shuddii Pranayama - Alternate Nostril Breathing
Doing some warm-ups & joint mobilization before Surya Namaskar is good as it helps in better stretching, also when followed by simple breathing practices like Kapalabhati Bhastrika Nadi Shuddi Pranayama, Surya Bedana Pranayama, Surya Mudra ...etc help in detoxification and energization of the body. This helps in balancing the Prana flow in the Ida & Pingala Nadi, thus rejuvenating the body. Also let us not forget healthy yogic diet and yogic lifestyle!


All health practitioners today recommend that everyone interested in healthy aging should add a yoga practice to their life! So still thinking... just breathe and get started. The only limitation is in our mind... possibilities are always infinite!!

In short the equation of reversing the age is
Yoga = Fit Body = Active Mind = Glowing Skin = Healthier & Younger look!
