Trinity Yoga

a student asked me which asanas would help her improve her memory.  any thoughts on this?

Hi Trisha,

I looked online and there are lots of sites dedicated to memory and yoga which is cool.  As well as this any meditation and pranayama practice would help with memory because it calms your thoughts and brings singular focus to your mind.  Also I was thinking anything that is an inversion and brings more blood to your head.  Hope this helps.

I spend a lot of time reading and could really use asanas for memory and concentration. If anybody has a suggestion, I’m all ears! =)

Memory is the capacity to retain information about past events, and helps us plan future events. There are many yogic techniques that stimulate the brain and nervous system to improve memory and concentration Like Dharana- or the practice of Concentration. Dharana affects and reduces the occupied mind. Also Pranayama and Meditation, Sirshasana, etc will help to improve memory.

There are 3 yoga components that can improve memory:

1. Asanas: The inverted postures nourish the brain with increased blood supply and supply of oxygen to the cells that help in developing memory:

2. Pranayama: Deep breathing exercises that help in the increased flow of prana and oxygen to the body parts and the brain, enhancing memory power

3. Meditation: Helps to clear the mind of unwanted thoughts and reduces excessive thinking. It is said that excessive thinking saps the mental energy of a person. Daily meditation helps to keep the mind calm and free of tension. Meditation on the third eye or on the point between the eyebrows helps to activate the brain and develop memory power.

Memory is the latent capacity to retain and recall information, yoga assists in improving memory power through yogic techniques of concentration and meditation. The brain functions of attention, cognition, processing of sensory information and visual perception are honed with yogic practices.

i like i now There are 3 yoga components that can improve memory: 1 - 2 -3
