As people get older, their movement becomes restricted and too much hormone production decreases, due to which their flexibility starts decreasing. To avoid serious diseases at this age, it is extremely important to keep a watch on what you eat, while a little exercise can help you regain your flexibility and stability. We bring you some yoga asanas, shared by Ayurvedic doctor Dr Nitika Kohli on her Instagram handle, that will keep you flexible in your 50s. Sharing the post, she mentioned that though it is a fact that young people are more flexible, it is a myth that as they get older, people lose flexibility.
Check out the post:
Try these yoga poses shared by Kohli to regain flexibility in your 50s:
downward dog
Keeping your hands and feet touching the ground, lift your body up and inwards. The deeper you want to stretch, the more you have to push through the muscles of your upper body.
reverse table top
Take a table position with your hands and feet. It helps to stretch the tight muscles in the front of the body while it strengthens the muscles of the back and core.
standing side bend
Stand straight, feet connected and hands should be straight up. Now while breathing slowly bend to one side. While coming back to the starting position, exhale. Do it for both sides. This asana causes the back to curve forward, while it tightens the chest area.
Yogi Squat Pose
If you sit for long periods of time and get tired, practicing the yogi squat pose can help increase mobility and flexibility.
pyramid pose
Take the downward dog position and slowly bring one leg to the hands, this is called pyramid pose. It provides a deep stretch for both your hamstrings and lower back. This is a great way to practice your balance.
