Pop diva Madonna starts a new day with a yoga complex, designed especially for her. The singer is sure: yoga is not only a universal medicine, but also a wonderful elixir of youth. And it's hard to argue with that.
Yoga relieves insomnia and lower back pain, improves posture and develops flexibility.

However, with some diseases, certain asanas cannot be performed. High or low blood pressure, gynecological diseases, severe scoliosis — all this requires a special approach.
Stretching will relieve pain in the spine, and meditation — migraine
Problems with the spine. It is enough to do yoga once a week
for four months to prevent back problems by more than 60%.- Argument. Stretching activates the activity of heart receptors and prevents nervous tension, thereby relieving spasms.
- Methods. Give up strength exercises in favor of static Iyengar. It will relax the muscles and nerves.

or bulimia.- Argument. Yoga harmonizes the human psyche and teaches him to accept himself as he is.
