Biologists are still trying to find the elixir of youth. For some, like Dr Elizabeth Blackburn, its a mission. If u read her books you get a clear idea that a virile mind ..which is connected to the rest of your body ..is a great way to maintaiñ youthfulness.
The nerves are how your body tunes in to who u are. Their vitality is important. This pose here called namaskaranasana ( prayer pose) is not only intensely challenging at a physical level but also "excites" the nerves all over the body. Nerves in all the limbs are set off positively.
And that difficult joint..the hips ..become stronger and more flexible. After 50s strong hips could mean longevity, youthful mobility and a better quality of life.
The chest also opens and collapses in a manner as to strengthen it and release hidden tensions. And the neck is also toned. The neck ..at a metaphysical level.. .often collapses at the slightest hint of conflict or stress.
And I cannot help but to point out that to execute this pose you need strong knees and ankles and an ability to squat low. In what I call the Indian toilet squat..but more on that later.
