Thanks to a multitude of health benefits, yoga helps to keep both your mind and body youthful by lowering your heart rate, reducing your cortisol and stress levels, boosting your immunity, stretching and toning your muscles and soothing your anxious mind. Through the combined effect of all these benefits, your mind will feel less cluttered and more present, and your body will feel less stiff and more nimble.
Furthermore, any one style of yoga is not more effective than another, as each of the styles will contribute towards keeping you youthful in its own unique way. Whether you like a dynamic and flowy style of yoga, or a slow and restorative style, the long-term benefits are similar.
Finally, yoga is suitable for all ages, meaning you can continue doing yoga into your sixties, seventies and beyond. It is low impact, requires little equipment and can be done almost anywhere. With all that in mind, here are six poses to keep your mind and body youthful.
