Fountain of Youth Yoga Exercise Set 

Yoga Exercises for Eternal Youth 

A part of the vision for Mastery of Meditation & Yoga, is to make available to you the entire science of yoga and meditation, from top to bottom (for free of course :-).  For yoga, this means to first put together the building blocks for yoga practice, which are the yoga poses and kundalini yoga exercises.  These are now available online via the Free Hatha Yoga Poses Galleries and the Free Illustration Kundalini Yoga Exercises E-book.

Although there is more work to be done in completing these online resources, they are now quite mature and so can provide the foundation for bringing you useful, integrated and complete yoga sets and kundalini yoga kriyas.  These integrated sets then help form more Free Online Yoga Classes, which further integrate meditation and pranayama, to help you work on different dimensions of your being.  This article is an example of such an integrated yoga set and it details the wonderful set I call the Fountain of Youth Yoga Exercises.

The Fountain of Youth Yoga Exercises Introduction

As the name of this set implies, it is a collection of yoga postures and movements that are excellent for preserving your youthful energy, health, body and vitality.  Yogic science, regardless of the particular type of yoga, hatha or kundalini, all hail the exercises in this set to be instrumental in extending life and bestowing longevity.

According to yoga philosophy, long life is worth seeking as it lets you maximize the opportunity to express your True Nature and increases the possibility of enlightenment.  In addition, I also think we collectively agree, that not just are we striving for a long life, but we are in fact hoping for a long healthy life.  To that end, the Fountain of Youth Yoga Set can be your most useful ally.

• Breath: Breath of Fire

2. Forward Bending Yoga Asana: Paschimothan Asana

• Breath: Here you have some nice options to try.  All these breath variations are good and I suggest you try or change it up from time to time to keep the mind and exercise fresh. 

  Long Deep Breathing w/ Visualization:  Do long deep breathing.  As you inhale visualize energy entering from the soles of your feed and making it’s way to the base of your spine.  As you exhale visualize this energy moving up the center of your spine, starting from the base and moving through the crown of your head.  Your may visualize the energy as white light if you like.
  

  Rapid Yogic Breathing:  You can also do rapid yogic breathing.   Breathing fast and full.  Inhaling completely and exhaling completely with every breath.  This is a little advanced, so back off it you start to feel dizzy or uncomfortable, and develop your capacity slowly over time.
  

  Breath of Fire:  Of course you can also do it with Breath of Fire and not go wrong :-D.

3. Kundalini Yoga Bow Pose: Yoga Dhanur Asana

This is the king kong yoga exercise to promote longevity and youth.  Along with the forward bending asana above, they are the most key exercises of this set.  If possible, try to work your way up to the advanced version of this exercise, which is to rock back and forth in bow pose.
