Is this true? How long do you think one has to stay in an upside down position for this to happen? Does yoga stimulate cell regeneration? Is this what the experts are referring to when they say, "anti-aging"? Thank you, Wendy K. H. I read some where that practicing yoga can help and even reverse your grays?? Is this true?

Yoga and a good diet, not painful, no knives or scary things injected in just a smiling happy face and a flexible body!!

Z--you can catch a similar video sequence on my YouTube classroom...the pne you want is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpDf0HBgNuo It's a bit bigger, but the main draw is that you can hear me talk you through it so you're not always looking at the screen. Good luck! Sandra--You will work towards more flexibility by trying these poses with the following modifications: The Cat Cow and Metabolic Spark poses you can do as is or seated on a chair. Put your knee down on a folded blanket for the Twisted Lunge and the Humble Warrior. In the Warrior, turn your back heel up as in the lunge and just go as low as you can. Aim for head lower than the heart over time. For Sleeping Pigeon, place your forearms on a couple of stacked blocks or books, and it's OK if your hips stay high at first. Just make sure they're centered in space, and breathe. The hips on a block should be fine, but try it with a pillow or block under your hips, and your legs up on the couch. Just elevate your feet on the couch a little higher than your knees, so you get a full inversion. Hope this helps, ladies, and GO YOGIS! LOOK YOUNGER AND FEEL GREAT! Namaste, Sadie Hi Zydekitten and Sandra!

But I don't think I'm as flexible as you. Are there modified poses that I could do that would provide the same benefits? These poses look great,Sadie. But I don’t think I’m as flexible as you.

Do you have them in a video/dvd format (which is much easier for me to follow than trying to squint at my small laptop monitor while in a pose)?? Namaste! These DO look great, Sadie!
