- 1). Warm up for your yoga routine with a sun salutation series. The specific poses in this series that should be included are the forward bend, downward facing dog and the wide-legged forward bend.
- 2). Practice yoga poses which stimulate the flow of cerebrospinal fluid along the spinal column. Poses include the wheel pose, the intense side stretch, the seated forward bend and the cat and cow poses.
- 3). Challenge yourself to some inversion poses, the quickest way to improve blood and oxygen flows to the brain. These poses include the supported shoulder stand, the headstand, the feathered peacock and more.
- 4). Consider various yoga poses which have the same benefits as inversions without the physical challenge. These poses, which place the brain below the rest of the body, include the extended puppy pose and the plow pose.
- 5). End your yoga routine with at least 5 minutes of meditation which calms the mind and stimulates the brain. This may be the most important part of your entire routine, as it helps your body and brain adjust to changes made during your practice and prepares you mentally, physically and emotionally for your day.
