The inverted yoga postures often convert gray hair back to its natural color and they will certainly delay the onset of gray hair. This is due to the inverted postures causing an increase in blood supply to the hair follicles in the scalp.

Increased flexibility of the neck produced by the asanas also helps by removing the pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the neck, therefore giving the head an even greater blood supply to the scalp.

The nerves in the neck supply the scalp muscles and the release of pressure on the nerves in the neck will help the scalp muscles to relax. This gives the hair follicles better nourished and thicker healthier hair is the ongoing result.

Yoga will take years from your face and add years to your life. As you get older, you will take on an ageless appearance. No one will have any idea how old you are, not that it matters.

But hey a compliment is a compliment.
