The rainy season brings happiness and relief, but it also brings laziness and lethargy. Going out less and not exercising not only affects your fitness but can also weaken your immunity.
As soon as the rainy season arrives, most people's daily routine gets disrupted. Going to the gym becomes less frequent and one does not feel like exercising at home either. This not only leads to weight gain but can also spoil the mood.
But there is no need to panic. You can keep yourself active and fit even in the rainy season through yoga. Yoga not only benefits you physically but also keeps you mentally healthy. Let us know which 3 yogasanas you can include in your daily routine during the monsoon season.
1. Kapalabhati Pranayama
It is a powerful purifying process that helps flush out impurities from the body. Often the body can feel stiff and sluggish due to the humidity and cold during the monsoon season. Kapalabhati Pranayama not only helps keep the body warm but also strengthens the lungs and keeps the immune system healthy.
How to do Kapalabhati?
* Sit in Sukhasana (comfortable sitting position).
* Keep your spine straight and close your eyes.
* Now inhale sharply and exhale sharply. Pull the stomach inwards and exhale.
* Repeat this process 10-15 times.
2. Downward Facing Dog Pose
This asana helps to stretch the entire body and strengthen the muscles. This asana is very effective in removing the problem of stiffness during the monsoon season. It also improves blood circulation.
How to do Downward Facing Dog Pose
* Come into the Chatushpadasana (stand on hands and feet) position.
* Now lift the hips and take the body into an inverted V shape.
* Keep the hands beneath the shoulders and the feet beneath the hips.
* Remain in this position for some time and then slowly come to Chatushpadasana.
3. Surya Namaskar
Surya Namaskar is a sequence of 12 yoga postures that exercise the whole body. This not only makes the body flexible but also strengthens the muscles and improves blood circulation. Surya Namaskar is very beneficial to remove fatigue and lethargy during the monsoon season.
Things to keep in mind
* If you do not practice yoga, then learn these asanas under the supervision of a yoga instructor.
* Do not do yoga on an empty stomach.
* If you feel any kind of discomfort, stop the exercise.
