1/5

Connection between yoga and hair growth

Yoga promotes overall well-being, which indirectly supports healthy hair growth by reducing stress levels. Specific yoga asanas are known to be the best poses for hair growth; they target the scalp, improve blood circulation, and nourish the hair follicles. Yoga also restores hormonal balance, which contributes to lush and long locks. So, roll out your yoga mats and try these yoga asanas daily to help control hair fall naturally.

2/5

Adho mukha svanasana (downward-facing dog pose)

In this position, begin from your hands and knees, then slowly lift your hips toward the ceiling, forming an inverted V shape. This position stimulates blood flow to the scalp, promoting hair growth and reducing hair fall. Gently stretch your spine and lengthen your neck to create space for improved circulation, which reaches and nourishes the hair follicles.

3/5

Ustrasana (Camel Pose)

Simply kneel with your knees hip-distance apart and slowly create an arch backward. Now, place your hands on your heels to create the Camel Pose, which increases blood circulation to the scalp. This also provides vital nutrients to the hair follicles. Open your chest and stretch your throat, which stimulates the thyroid gland and plays an important role in regulating hair growth.

4/5

Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand)

Gently lie on your back and lift your legs while supporting the lower back with your hands. Create an inverted pose that improves blood flow to the scalp, revitalising the follicles and promoting healthy hair growth. By reversing the gravitational pull, Sarvangasana helps bring nutrient-rich blood to the scalp, improving oxygen supply and further nourishing the hair roots.

5/5

Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend)

Stand with your feet keeping the hip-width apart and fold forward. Reach for your toes, as this asana improves the blood circulation to the scalp, strengthens the hair roots, and reduces hair loss. As you fold forward, the blood rushes to the head, promoting a fresh supply of nutrients to the scalp and hair follicles as well. This pose also helps to relieve stress and anxiety, which also plays a crucial role in hindering the hair growth cycle.
