"Y" is for Yoga and Youthful


Ever wonder what makes yogis look so yound and fresh? Practicing yoga...

Silence stress. Yoga helps improve the efficiency of the immune system by eliminating stress. Regular Pranayamas (breathing exercises) like Kapalabhati and Anulom-Vilom can help you shut out negativity and concentrate on the good stuff. This means less wrinkles and frown lines.

Gives Glowing Skin. The perfect oxygen boost, yoga brings to the body great blood circulation from doing those various asanas (poses) and mudras (hand gestures).

Improves Skin Elasticity. Yoga can return elasticity to skin by removing tension away from the body as it strengthens it with posture-perfecting poses. So when you strretch during yoga, you also firm up sag-prone areas like chin, cheeks, and arms - aprt from building great core muscles! No wonder yogis are lean and lovely.
