With old age, many bodily changes like hormonal shifts can contribute to an increased weight. Poor dietary choices can also result in weight gain. However, not everything is dependent on age. You can make certain important decisions about your lifestyle that will help you achieve the ideal body weight. Today, let’s explore the health benefits of incorporating Parvatasana in your daily routine. 

It is extremely easy to practice Parvatasana at home. Grab a yoga mat and follow these steps:

•    Start by sitting in Padmasana posture (cross-legged).
•    Join your hands together in Namaskar posture (prayer position) and hold it for 3 seconds. 
•    Then slowly raise your arms above your head and inhale deeply while doing it. 
•    Exhale as you bend forward, placing your hands on the ground. Move your legs slightly back until you make a mountain-like position. 
•    Hold this posture for 1-2 minutes and focus on your breath. 
•    Repeat the steps in sets of three to five. 

 

Benefits of practicing Parvatasana daily:

•    Regular practice of Parvatasana will improve overall flexibility in the body. 
•    It also helps in reducing body fat especially belly fat, helping you achieve a great figure. 
•    Consistent practice of Parvatasana can also help in reducing stress and tension. It will contribute to relieving anxiety leading to a calmer mind. 
•    Parvatasana can improve the quality of sleep. If practiced daily, it will address issues like insomnia.
