As we grow older, a saggy body becomes a fear that many women have. But what can we do to prevent it, other than running and succumb to dangerous plastic surgeries?

Yoga is apparently one of the best ways of keeping your body tight and staying in shape.

Besides its numerous health benefits, yoga, in the long run, can lift your whole body! That is why we are bringing you the most effective yoga poses that you can do NOW to maintain your body's youth as you get older…

1. Triangle Pose

If you're seeking to improve your blood circulation and strengthen your thorax, then you should definitely try this exercise out!

How to:

Start by standing with your legs wide open.

Rotate your right foot slightly to the left (about 15 degrees), and have your left foot pointed completely outward.

Your aim should be to touch your left foot using your right hand.

Make sure your knees are always straight, and gently rotate the face upwards with the left arm stretched up.

Repeat on both sides.

2. Warrior Pose

This pose is especially beneficial in strengthening your thorax and making it more flexible.

How To:

First, make sure your feet are parallel to each other.

Open your legs wide while standing.

Turn your left foot at a right angle to the left, and keep your right foot pointing in the same direction.

As you breathe out, slowly bend your left knee.

Stretch your arms parallel to the ground.

Align with both of your shoulders, and turn your head as gently as you can.

Do this 8-10 times and then switch sides.

3. Cobra Pose

This pose serves your body with several benefits, such as improving your posture, strengthening your core and abdominal muscles, and increasing lung capacity.

How To:

The first thing to do is lie down on your stomach and take a deep breath in.

Raise your torso slowly while keeping your lower body on the floor.

Gently raise your head, arms, and legs.

Lift as much as humanly possible, breathe out, then return to your initial position.

At first, it would be quite difficult to hold this position for long, but practice makes perfect, so as you progress, try to increase the time you hold this pose, and try to lift your arms and legs even more.

4. Bow Pose

Though it might seem scary at first to try, the bow pose is perfect for relieving back pain and lifting your upper body.

How To:

Lie facedown on the floor, and lift your heels slowly toward your head.

Raise your arms and legs.

Hold both of your ankles.

To balance the stomach, lift your upper and lower body.

Hold for 30 seconds, and that's it!

5. Camel Pose

Another good position for back pain is the camel pose (it is also great for increasing lung capacity!).

How To:

Join your feet together and stand on your knees.

Touch heels with both of your hands.

Slowly and carefully, bend backward.

It is even better if you can touch the floor instead of your heels.

Maintain this pose for a minimum of 30 seconds.

6. Wheel Pose

For the folks who suffer from headaches, stress, fatigue and low energy levels, you should try out the wheel pose!

How to:

Lie flat on your back with your feet shoulder-width apart,

Rest your palms on the floor behind your head.

Breathe out slowly, and lift your upper and lower body so that you stand on your hands and feet. No pressure here, only as much as you can!

Keep your arms aligned as much as you can.

Hold for this position for no less than 30 seconds.
