There is a very famous concept in Yoga philosophy. According to it a person's age is determined by the flexibility of his spine, not the number of years he has lived. Yoga helps in slowing down the aging process by providing elasticity to the spine, firming up the skin, removing tension from the body, strengthening the abdominal muscles, eliminating the likelihood of a double chin, improving the quality of loose arm muscles, correcting poor posture and so on. Thus, of the numerous benefits of Yoga, anti-ageing is an important one.

Yoga also helps in making you feel younger with increased mental competence. If there is any key to longer life it is none other than Yoga. Longer life often results from following Yogic practices. Yoga possesses the power to fight the internal as well as the external diseases and dangers. After that it's very natural for an individual to live longer. Hatha Yoga mainly aims at making people live long. Some of the anti-ageing properties of Yoga are long life, increased resistance to diseases, increased vitality, rejuvenation of glands, looking young, improvement in vision and hearing and many other mental and emotional benefits. The inverted Yoga postures often convert gray hair back to its natural color, delaying the onset of gray hair, thereby making a person look younger.
