Relieve To Relive

Pictures communicate best. So I found this one below, highlighting the most common body parts where many of us experience aches and pain. Look closely and am sure you will find a friend. 

I have been there myself. And I feel sad to hear the same from most people I know.  

Most aches and pains are a medium that your body uses to tell you to slow down? Yoga does that for you. I love yoga as it gives me time with myself. Even if you are not a yogi, when you twist and stretch, you are unknowingly doing some form of yoga. 

Here are my fav yoga poses for relieving pain -

Upper Body Aches like head, neck, shoulders and arms can be caused due to muscle tension in neck and shoulders. Also sometimes, just due to lack of oxygen, as unknowingly we forget to breathe properly during a busy day. 

The easy poses below with deep breathing connects body and mind, releasing muscle tension and allowing increased blood flow in upper body. This provides relaxation and hence relief.

Joint Pain like in knees, wrists, ankle and elbow can also be treated by regular yoga. It also provides instant relief as the fluid movements allow swollen or otherwise painful joints to glide smoothly over one another, increasing mobility and strength. 
Always keep it slow and steady and breathe into your poses.

A painfree healthy body and mind is the key to success in any aspect of life.
