Yoga Practice and your Skin & Hair.

When it comes to personal beauty, taking care of your skin—your largest organ and first point of contact with the world—is perhaps the most important daily ritual you perform. This means more than finding the right cream to apply to your face—although that's part of it too. It's a holistic process involving eating right, exercising, and living healthfully. When all these things converge, good health illuminates your face. In treating your skin with love and respect, you reacquaint yourself with your natural being and allow your inner beauty to shine through.

Benefits of Yoga on Your Health

. Yoga improves posture, increases the intake of oxygen, and enhances the functioning of the respiratory, digestive, endocrine, reproductive, and elimination systems. Its effects on the emotions are equally beneficial: calming the mind, attuning us to the environment, and diminishing insomnia caused by mental restlessness. Yoga is highly recommended for people in competitive, stressful working environments, for those who suffer from headaches, back and shoulder aches, allergies, and asthma. Yoga also works to unite the split between the mind and the body. Anyone with a compulsive behavioral disorder knows firsthand what agony this split can cause. Anyone who has ever had a nervous breakdown, suffered manic depression, or has only felt himself or herself functioning on 'half-power' understands this as well. The regular practice of yoga helps us to accept whatever physical or mental conditions we might be suffering from by increasing our immediate sense of well being, concentration, and calm. Much healing can be done, but it takes practice and consistency



How Yoga Aids Hair Growth



Certain yoga poses rectify the root causes of hair loss. These poses reduce anxiety and stress, improve digestion and rectify poor circulation of blood in the head. All these reasons are known to cause hair loss. Yoga poses also increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the head, aiding hair growth. Besides hair growth, yoga also holistically improves one’s physical and mental health
The inverted yoga postures often convert gray hair back to its natural color and they will certainly delay the onset of gray hair. This is due to the inverted postures causing an increase in blood supply to the hair follicles in the scalp.
Increased flexibility of the neck produced by the asanas also helps by removing the pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the neck, therefore giving the head an even greater blood supply to the scalp.
Yoga will take years from your face and add years to your life. As you get older, you will take on an ageless appearance.  Namaste.
