Regain that youthful glow with these yoga poses

Yoga is often celebrated by not just celebrities, whom actresses like Jessica Biel & Jennifer Aniston swear by... 

But also by respected physical therapists for its stress-busting & strength-building abilities.

However, yoga can do more than that.

Yoga can and will improve your complexion

Yoga glow is a thing and, if you practice it regularly, you’ve probably noticed the radiant aftereffects of exercise on your skin. 

Yoga focuses on precise and delicate movements, and moving your body is medicine. 

It allows for detoxification by flushing all of the organs, it increases respiration, it lubricates joints and strengthens muscles. 

Breathing and moving in yoga can help to balance hormones and move waste stagnating in the intestines. 

All of this leads to healthier, happier skin.

Let’s cut to the chase. (radiant skin awaits!)

Here are some yoga poses that promote better skin complexion, you can do in the comfort of your own home:

Tadasana (Mountain Pose)

With its focus on deep, rhythmic breathing, this simple standing pose helps alleviate stress and improve oxygen flow. 

Getting in more oxygen through controlled breathing helps the body to release harmful toxins and keep the skin healthy and glowing.

• Stand comfortably with your big toes touching and heels slightly apart
• Press the soles of your feet into the floor and engage your thighs, drawing them inward and upward
• Lengthen your tailbone toward the floor and draw in your belly
• Keeping your chin parallel to the mat, draw your shoulders back and down
• Soften your eyes and throat and let your arms hang beside your torso
• Optional: Raise your hands into a prayer position in front of your chest
• Close your eyes
• Inhale and exhale deeply for 5 breaths

Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold)

Inversions are one of the best exercises to bring blood flow to the face and increase oxygen supply to skin cells.

• Stand in Mountain Pose with your hands resting on your hips
• Slowly exhale and bend forward from your hips (not your waist)
• Bend your knees as much as you need to relieve tension from your lower back
• Allow your head to hang heavy
• If possible, bring your palms to rest on the floor or against the back of your ankles; if not, cross your arms in front of you, holding your elbows
• With each inhalation, slightly lift and lengthen your torso; be mindful to avoid rounding your back
• Inhale and exhale deeply for 5 breaths

 

Parivrtta Sukhasana (Simple Seated Twist)

A healthy gut is essential for healthy skin. Parivrtta sukhasana is a gentle, seated twist that assists in digestion and toxin removal by increasing circulation and energy to the stomach, small intestine, large intestine and liver.

• Sit on the floor in a cross-legged position (if your hips are tight, you may need a block)
• Align your head, neck and spine and lengthen your tailbone toward the floor
• Place your right hand flat on the floor behind you
• Place your left hand on the outside of your right knee
• As you exhale, gently twist to the right and gaze over your right shoulder
• On each inhale, lengthen your spine; on each exhale, twist more deeply
• Practice this for 5 breaths, then switch sides

 

Matsyasana (Fish Pose)

Another yoga pose for better skin is matsyasana, or fish pose. By gently stretching the throat muscles, fish pose helps flush your thyroid and parathyroid glands, thereby keeping hormones - and hormone-related skin concerns - in check. 

 

• Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor
• Lift your hips and tuck your hands beneath your buttocks, palms down
• Draw your forearms and elbows in tight towards your body
• On your inhale, press your forearms and elbows into the floor and gently arch your back to lift your torso up and away from the floor
• Elongate your spine by firming your shoulder blades and lifting your chest higher
• Gently tilt your head backward, letting the crown of your head rest on the floor
• Keep your legs energized
• Inhale and exhale for 5 breaths

 

Bhujangasana (Cobra)

Cobra pose helps reduce tension, stress and fatigue by opening your lungs and energizing your body. By lowering cortisol (the “stress hormone”) and reducing oxidative stress, yoga helps to minimize and prevent the visible signs of skin aging brought on by dehydration and loss of elasticity. 

• Lie on your belly
• Stretch your legs out behind you with your knees touching and the tops of your feet resting on the floor
• Spread your hands on the floor beneath your shoulders and hug your elbows into your sides
• Press your feet and thighs firmly into the floor
• On your inhale, straighten your arms to push your chest forward and up off the floor
• Slowly roll your shoulders back and away from your ears to elongate your neck
• Hold for 5 breaths

P.S. Regaining the youthful glow of your skin with these yoga poses are a great idea!

However, if you want to see accelerated results...

We recommend improving your gut health.

Scientific research has shown that the imbalance of gut bacteria during menopause can result in toxins accumulating in the body, which gets deposited in the skin, leading to acne, discoloration, and accelerated aging.

Which is why it is important to have a good quality probiotic in your daily diet.

Studies done by the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology have shown that certain strains like the Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium works wonders on improving skin quality.

Which is why we’ve added thermogenic probiotics (L. Gasseri, B. Breve & B. Lactis) from both strains into our popular bundle:
