Yoga inversions poses have several benefits.
Imagine reversing, for a few minutes, the direction of a river. All his energy would be boosted, renewing and recharging his forces.
This energetic renewal is what our body experiences when we practice yoga inversions.
Could it be that our arboreal ancestors already practiced it hanging from a branch? Maybe that’s why it feels so good.
Some of the benefits of inverted postures:
- Increases blood flow to the brain, thus improving memory, eyesight and hair growth.
- This flow provides nutrients, toning the facial muscles giving it more shine, elasticity and avoiding acne.
- It facilitates the return of blood to the heart, thus renewing its flow.
- Those who practice it regularly tend to have low breathing rates and heart rates, which is very beneficial.
- Relieves pressure in the lumbar and sacral areas.
- It generates relief in people with varicose veins.
Practicing inverted yoga poses daily can improve quality of life.
