Suryamudra to produce heat inside your body {Health}

Swathy · December 18, 2011 · 4 Comments

Inability to get up in the mornings is one of the worst side-effects of winters and going to schools, colleges, works and that woo with the exams on the head, its just mind boggling!!! So, try out this yoga pose which is supposed to produce heat in the body.
  • Sit in a meditative pose.
  • Hold your hands vertically upright with palms open near your ears.
  • Press the ring finger with the thumb and keep the palm upright for both hands.
  • Do not tense your body. Let it relax but sit upright position.
Hold this pose for 5 minutes and feel the heat seep inside your body. This position is also great for controlling obesity and for weight loss. It is a simple pose and doing it for 5-10 minutes daily can make your morning much easier so give it a try!!!Caution: Do not do this pose if you have high blood pressure, ulcers or are suffering from fever or any other inflammatory conditions.

Healthy Weight is Good {Tip of the Day}

Swathy · December 17, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Another tip today on how to look young. Maintaining proper weight according to your height is the key. Being too thin or too fat makes you look older and unhealthy and doesn’t create a good impression but having love handles and a little bit of flabby fat makes you look chubby and young. So, take care of your weight and maintain it and do not go for yo-yo diets which cause too much of weight gain or weight loss as it directly impacts your skin.

Tips to wake up during colder mornings {Health}

Swathy · December 9, 2011 · 4 Comments

Body feels sluggish in the winters so I am putting down some tips and some yoga poses to help your body awaken in the mornings. Try them out, they actually work.
  • Drink lemon/lime juice in the morning as soon as you wake up. It helps with your bowel movements.
  • Splash your face with rose water / water seven times. This wakes you up.
  • Click your teeth together to set off rousing energy in the body. Follow with gum massage.
  • Trataka is an eye exercise which should be done for the health of your eyes.
    • Rotate eyes in clockwise direction five times.
    • Repeat in anti-clockwise direction.
    • Simultaneously, stretch your body completely as soon as you wake up (Yastikasana).
      • helps kick start your metabolism
      • gives your body a powerful stretch
  • Awaken your third eye – massage the center of your eyebrows with your forefinger dipped in oil.
    • this alerts the rational part of your brain
  • Anuloma-Viloma and Kapalabhati are two amazing yogamudras to awaken the body.

These tips will also control the unwanted weight gain in winters.
