Think of the body as a balloon filled with water. (That’s quite an accurate image actually.) To get the water to move around in the balloon you could shake it (with jogging) or you could turn the balloon upside down with yoga inversions. There are easy upside down postures for beginners without their risking more advanced inversions like head balance. Inversions also directly benefit the heart by increasing the volume of blood coursing through.

It is never too late to learn inverted yoga poses. According to Geeta lyengar, her father taught the Queen Mother of Belgium when she was 84.
