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.
