Important to Invert

The benefits of inverting your body are numerous.. especially as we age..

Over time gravity compresses the various internal organs of the human body into forms that inhibit their function. Even with vigorous exercise which does have a very beneficial effect it's important to invert the human body..

Here is a list of just a few of the benefits...

{Contraindications.. [especially those with older bodies] acid reflux, neck injuries, extremely high blood pressure, menstruation, eye or ear problems.. you want to talk to your doctor first.. }

1] Adrenal glands are flushed and detoxified.. This puts us in a more positive frame of mind…

2] increased blood flow to the Master Glands.. the pituitary and hypothalamus..

which indirectly benefits, the thyroid, pineal and adrenals..

3] Head stands actually improve digestion.. Reversing the effect of gravity releases, congested blood in the colon.. Which facilitates nutrient uptake and the processing of waste..

Got a sluggish bowel? Do your head stand.. or shoulder stand.. Then scissor the legs and once adept at that.. rotate legs slightly to the right then, slightly to the left..

4] Substantially reduce your chances of having an ischemic stroke.. Fact..

It's best to find a good local Yoga teacher [one that resonates with you] then get personalized instruction..

Initially, you want to use a wall to help maintain balance..

Always create substantial space too, in case you fall over.. a piece of furniture too close.. is a no no..

So set the stage for maximum benefit from your practice.. before starting, get thoroughly hydrated with warm, hot, or at least tepid water, a cup of coffee or tea is fine.. Just No Cold.. create a nice warm or even hot environment to practice.. muscles and connective tissues can be torn if the body is cold and/or insufficiently hydrated.. Loose fitting clothing..

Once you've completed your Asana practice.. Thank your body for the good work.. then take five or even 10 minutes resting and relaxing in the Death Pose..

Bask in the glow of that Unparalleled Feeling of Well-being..

You earned it.

Peace..
