As the summer sun blazes across India, temperatures are soaring to new heights.
Recently, Delhi shattered its all-time heat record, and heatstroke is becoming an increasingly common concern.
So to help you out, here are six simple yoga practices that may shield your from the scorching heat this summer. Let's dive in and explore these refreshing techniques:
Sitali Pranayama: Inhale through a rolled tongue or pursed lips, exhale through the nose. This breath cools the body and calms the mind.
Moon Salutations: A sequence of yoga poses that are done in a slow and fluid manner, focusing on gentle movements and deep breathing to cool the body.
Forward Bends: Poses like Uttanasana or Paschimottanasana help to calm the mind and cool the body by reducing excess heat.
Pranayama: Regular practice of deep breathing exercises such as Nadi Shodhana helps balance the body's temperature and calm the nervous system.
Hydration: Practicing yoga with a focus on staying hydrated is crucial in preventing heatstroke. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your practice.
Cooling Visualisation: During meditation or relaxation, visualise yourself surrounded by cool, soothing energy. This can help lower body temperature and reduce the risk of heat-related issues.
