It will keep your joints supple and your mind calmer and more active, the exercise don’t need any special training and can be performed by anyone. Here are a few very easy yoga stretches that you should make a part of your daily life.
The first quick and easy exercise that you can do and which only take a few minutes to perform and which stretches the whole body and joints are to stand and raise your hands above your head. Gently lock your fingers together above your head and lean slowly to the right, then come back up to the middle position and move over to the left. Try to keep your breathing slow and relaxed breathing in through your nose and slowly out through your mouth.
