if you give yourself regular physical activity, you may know the importance of a cool down period after a training session.

Take a look at the benefits of a cool down period here.
* Gradually reduces heart rate – A sudden drop in heart rate can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded after you finish your training.
* Stretches you out and helps prevent injury. – After your muscles have worked as hard as they have, they should be stretched while they are still warm. This lengthens the muscle fibers, as they have been under tension during training.
*Relax your mind– A cool-down period provides an opportunity for quiet contemplation. It’s the recognition of getting a good workout in while allowing your body to start recovering faster while also lifting your mood.
Here are some yoga poses that you should include in your next cool down routine, as the expert suggests.
