Try these yoga poses shared by Kohli to regain flexibility in your 50s:
Downward Dog
With hands and feet touching the ground, lift your body upwards and inwards. The deeper you want to stretch, the more you are required to push through your upper body muscles.
Reverse Table Top
Take the position of a table, with the support of your hands and foot. It helps to stretch the tight muscles at the front of the body while it strengthens the back and core muscles.
Standing Side Bend
Stand straight, feet joined, and hands should be straight up. Now, slowly inhale and bend on one side. While coming back to the starting position, exhale. Do it for both sides. This posture causes the back to curve forward, while it tightens the chest area.
Yogi Squat Pose
If you sit for long hours and get tired, practicing the Yogi Squat Pose can help to increase mobility and flexibility.
Pyramid Pose
Take the position of downward dog and bring one foot slowly near the hands, this is called the Pyramid pose. It provides a deep stretch for both your hamstrings and lower back. It is a great way to practice your balance.
