Yoga for Youth: As you reach your mid-twenties, your metabolism slows down. When you were in your early twenties, it was different. Our bones and muscles start to deteriorate. Slow digestion, inadequate nutrition absorption, fat storage resulting in weight gain, and all the difficulties that come with it are symptoms of a low metabolism.
When we move into corporate careers, our lifestyles become increasingly sedentary. Sitting for long periods of time restricts the blood flow to our lower body. By the age of 25, many women have problems with periods. Men also have less sperm motility as they approach their 30s.
Bad eating habits cause more and more toxins to be retained in your body, which are difficult to eliminate. Your blood mixed with these poisons causes problems like Diabetes, Thyroid, PCOD, PCOS etc. High blood pressure, sleep apnea and insomnia can also be caused by a stressful lifestyle.
When you’re just starting out, it’s a good idea to keep things basic. The introductory yoga poses described here are enough to keep you busy for quite some time. Eventually, as your practice develops, you can try progressively more difficult positions.
At this age, if we start practicing yoga actively, we can save our body from possible lifestyle diseases as there is no age restriction for doing yoga. People of all age groups should adopt it as a way of life. Let’s know the necessary yogasanas after the age of 25 years:
1. Virabhadrasana
2. Devi Asana
3. Pachimottasana
4. Horse Running Pose
5. Malasana
6. Downward Breathing
7. Navasan
8. Buddha Konasana
9. Bhujangasana
10. Setubandhasana
11. Sarvangasana
12. Halasana
13. Body Abdominal Pose
14. Supta Baddhakoasana
15. Balasana
16. Kapalbhati Pranayama
17. Nadi Shodhana Pranayama
Each position should be practiced every day, held for at least 5 breaths, and then gradually increased to 10 breaths.
These are essential actions for improving digestion, regulating blood flow throughout the body, especially to the brain and reproductive organs, and calming the nervous system.
