Yoga for healthy ageing: Learn about the top yogic habits that can help you maintain a youthful body, clear mind, and vibrant energy.
Youthfulness is linked to the body's movement, the way the mind thinks, and the energy that is felt in every day. Ancient yogi teachings have taught us that vitality is cultivated through discipline and conscious living each day. There are some simple things that can be done regularly which will help to keep your body flexible, enthusiastic, and balanced inside, so that each phase of life can be active and fulfilling.
Yoga is very simple. It invites a harmonious relationship between movement, breath and awareness and facilitates a natural route towards lifelong health and wellness.
In an exclusive interaction with TheHealthSite.com, yoga and spiritual leader, Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, suggest that a simple Siddha Walk, or the Infinity Walk, is the best yogic practice to inculcate into daily lifestyle. It is a meditative walking exercise that is done in the form of the number eight. This rhythmic movement stimulates healthy circulation, aides digestion and awakens the whole body. This slow pace helps to produce freshness and clarity, and sets a positive tone for the day through the use of natural breathing.
A beautiful yogic habit is the few peaceful moments in the early morning sunlight. Soft light used for the lighting can help to create a calming and serene atmosphere, promoting a feeling of unity and connection to the natural world and therefore emotional balance and wellbeing. This simple habit will contribute to having a happy, positive morning.
One of the greatest gifts of yoga is slowing and breathing mindfully. Just a few minutes of gentle pranayama (yoga breathing) in the morning can help to energise the mind. The process of calming and balancing the breath leads to a feeling of lightness and relaxation in the body.
A few simple yoga positions are helpful for keeping muscles and joints free of stiffness and tightness. Gentle movements will enhance posture, circulation and keep the body active and comfortable. Even a few minutes a day can leave you feeling alive.
If peace of mind is added to everyday life, it makes it special. Some moments of quiet contemplation or appreciation can help to bring emotional balance and/or peace to the person. This practice fosters a positive attitude and deepens the mind/heart connection.
The message yoga has for us is an everlasting one: youth is energy, balance and awareness. The body is flexible, the mind is clear, and the spirit is vibrant as a result of some small, conscientious daily habits. By taking each conscious breath and gentle step a person can develop a life of strength, joy and renewed enthusiasm.
