Yoga for Older Women

With age and lack of the proper amount of motor activity, muscles, tendons are clamped, the body knocks, becomes inactive and stiff. Hence, diseases arise. Yoga can be the elixir of a second youth for older women. She really rejuvenates and returns love to her body.

Exercises

We will perform a set of yoga exercises for the elderly, although, in principle, they do not have an age limit. They can be used by beginners in yoga of any age.

1. Triangle is the first basic pose. Legs are divorced, one hand on the hip, you begin to drain down, reaching the point of its limit. Unfold your face and raise your hand. Breathe should be exactly, look at the palm. We fix the position. We execute on the other side.
2. From this position, we move to the second position. The arms are divorced at shoulder level, the face looks forward, the front leg is bent at right angles. We follow the breath. Fix the position and execute on the other side.
3. The position of the tree - you can rest against the wall with your back. We take the leg with our hand, put it in the inner surface of the thigh, as high as possible, we connect the hands, we look forward. The weight of the body rests on the second, straight leg. Over time, the support of the wall must be abandoned.
4. We go down on our knees, we set one foot aside, the foot is unfolded perpendicularly. The hand on the hip, we fall down along the leg, raise the hand from the hip and help to reach further. We repeat to the other side.
5. We fall into our arms, round our back, we can move it, we bend up, the neck stretches into the coccyx. Again rounded and bend - do 4 cycles.
6. We lay down on the stomach - the posture of a semicircle. Elbows under the shoulders, look forward, shoulders bend.
7. The main cobra - we raise our elbows, lower our forehead, remove the palms of our hands under the shoulders. Palms look forward, legs together, rise upwards, using only the muscles of the back . This exercise is perhaps the most important in yoga for the elderly, since it induces to action all the deep muscles of the back, strengthening and stretching them.
8. Through the knees, we squeeze out from the floor, raise our knees and make a bar. We kneel down and sag in our arms.
9. We lay down in a pose of the child for rest.
