7 yoga poses for high concentration and memory

The Sanskrit word "Yuj" is where the word "yoga" originates. Yoga involves more than merely performing asanas for health. It has deeper meaning since it gives you the power to conquer many challenges in your life by uplifting your emotions and infusing them with a hint of spirituality. During exams, most of the students find it difficult to remember or recollect what they have studied before, and this happens even after doing their revisions. Here are some important yoga asanas that yoga gurus have been teaching their disciples to increase memory and high concentration:

Surya Namaskar

According to Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, yoga guru, founder: Akshar Yoga Kendraa, “Surya Namaskar, one of yoga's most energizing poses, consists of 12 positions that can affect the way various glands and organs in the body function. Your body will become more energetic as a result, and blood will flow freely. Additionally, it improves the body and mind's strength, stability, and flexibility. It increases the capacity of your lungs as well if it is done with controlled breath movements.

Matsyasana

Matsyasana, commonly known as the fish position, aids in blood circulation to the head, but performing this asana also relieves stress in the neck and back region, which can be brought on by either physical or mental stress, or possibly both. You must first bend your right leg and position your right foot on top of your left thigh in order to do this asana. Keep the left leg on the right thigh and repeat the process with it. Your head should be on the floor while you lift your back with your elbows so that it forms an arch. Hold your big toes in place now with your hands.

Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bending)

Start with Dandasana. As you inhale, empty your stomach of air. As you exhale, bend forward at the hips and place your upper body on your lower body. As you exhale, lower your arms and grip your big toes with your fingers. As you try to touch your knees with your nose. As you hold the pose for a while.

Sirshasana (Headstand Pose)

Vajrasana is the starting position. Your elbows should be on the ground. Your palms and elbows should form an equilateral triangle. Your crown of your head should be on the floor in front of your palms. Your palms should support the back of your head. You should then walk on your toes towards your head until your back is straight. First, raise your right leg and position it in front of your upper torso. Join your legs and point your toes downward while using your core power to balance and pull your left leg up. As long as it's comfortable, continue to hold the position.

Vrikshasana – Tree Pose

Start in Samasthithi, maintain your feet together, stand tall, fold your right leg so that it is perpendicular to your left leg, inhale, and bring your palms together in the Namaskar mudra in front of your chest. Throughout the entire movement, keep your spine straight.



Bakasana (Crane Pose)
Starting with Samasthithi, you should: • Place your palms flat, just in front of, but not touching, your feet; • Point your fingers forward and apart; • Slightly bend your elbows; • Place your knees just below your armpits; • Lean forward so that all of your weight is supported by your arms; • Remain balanced; and • Slowly lift both of your feet off the ground. Bring your feet together and reach as far out as you can with your arms. Hold this pose for a time while concentrating on one thing.

Sarvangasana – Shoulder Stand Pose
Starting off, lie on your back. Put your arms in a close-to-body position. Your feet should be facing the sky as you slowly lift your legs off the ground so they are parallel to it. Lift your pelvis and back a little at a time. Put your hands on your back to support yourself while raising your forearms off the ground. Make an effort to keep your legs, feet, pelvis, legs, and shoulders all in a straight line. Your feet should be your focus.
