* Pranayama

Sit in a comfortable cross-legged position such as Easy Pose. Close the right nostril with your right thumb. Inhale deeply through the left nostril. Close the left nostril with the ring finger of your right hand as you release the right nostril. Do this for 15 minutes, you can take a 5-minute break in between.

* Headstand pose/sirasana

If you have a strong neck and back, this asana can be performed easily. Though this requires a person to stand on the head so this is considered a little dangerous as our neck bones are not made to take up so much weight. This aasan circulates blood to the facial nerves and gives a healthy flushed glow.

Though considered easy this asana requires a lot of focus and relaxation with being in synchronized with the surroundings.
