Yoga asanas to stay cool in summer

To integrate Yoga poses and practices that support hydration and prevent dehydration during the summer months, focus on poses that promote circulation, stimulate the lymphatic system, and encourage relaxation. Incorporating breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques will also help maintain proper hydration levels. Here’s a guide to beginning your practice with poses that support hydration and circulation:

1. Trikonasana (Triangle Pose): This pose stretches the sides of the body, enhancing circulation and promoting detoxification.
2. Padahasthasana (Forward Fold): Forward folds stimulate digestion and help regulate fluid balance in the body.
3. Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose): Backbends like Cobra Pose stimulate the kidneys and adrenal glands, supporting proper hydration.
4. Savasana (Corpse Pose): Practicing Savasana in a cool, shaded area can help lower body temperature and induce relaxation.
5. Sitali Pranayama (Cooling Breath): This breathing technique involves inhaling through a rolled tongue or pursed lips, which cools the body from within.
