Yoga - A way of life

I view yoga as a tool which reduces disharmony in the mind and body by enhancing one's spiritual awareness and advocates simple techniques to reach one's maximum potential.

Breath right reduce stress
Regular practice of 'pranayam' (control of bio-energy) or yogic breathing exercises is necessary. This is the most vital process of life activity through which blood (thereby the body) is purified and oxygenated through the lungs.
Breathing in a ventilated area between 6:30am and 8:30 am when your skin can bask in the sun and fresh air, offers maximum benefits. In addition, daily practice of the same makes one aware of unnecessary tension in our facial muscles.

Try Asanas, delay wrinkles

These are firm but relaxed yogic postures, to improve flexibility and vitality and bring the body into a state of well-being. Asanas should be done for duration of approximately 3 to 4 minutes to reap better results.
Classical yoga asanas such as Surya Namaskar help regulate hormones and their impact on the skin. Once our internal purification process begins, it is bound to reflect on the external organ - skin. These practices delay formation of wrinkles and dark circles too!

Perform mudras, purify blood

An ancient science by itself, mudras activate certain pressure points that influence various areas of the body.
One may perform this mudra any time of the day by joining the little finger tip with the tip of the thumb, keeping the rest of the three fingers straight. You can also perform this in a cross-legged/ standing pose. Do not press the tip of the little finger near the nail as it will result in the drying of skin.

The benefits of performing mudras include:
a) Purification of the blood and therefore a marked improvement in the health of your skin.
b) It balances the water element in the body.
c) It relieves dehydration, stomach infection, and kidney malfunction.
