Folks:
I heard yoga poses has anti-aging effect on the body.
Is there any particulars asanas you suggest ?
The reason I ask is… I didn’t shave for last few days. To my shock I found some gray hair on my beard. Tears were falling from eyes. I cried a lot. Not simple cry but the ones you see in indian movies…rolling on the floor and crying RONFC…
That was a joke. But seriously is any specific asanas one can suggest ?

Search the net for Kaya Kalpa and Rasayana.
Half shoulder stand and detachment from the ego
Detachment from the ego means don’t look at others and see your gray hairs in their eyes- see them
he he
i will try that guys 
Grey Is Awesome…Embrace it & you’ll age slower than those that worry about it.
Live long and prosper seems to go two ways. Those that worry about themselves and what others Think about them, and others whom are not worried about themselves but care for others 
What is wrong with aging? I mean as many have said, it beats the alternative. All poses prevent some aging. Yoga keeps the joints flexible and the body supple. But if you question is, is there a yoga pose that prevents gray hair? I would have to say no. I have many and have been doing yoga for years.
Except that your body is going to grow, transform and (gasp) get old. It is beautiful! Plus gray hairs in a beard will make you look wise and distiguished. Chicks dig that.
Hi,
Swami Vishnudevananda said in his Book of Yoga that sirsasana (head stand) was excelent for hair loss or graying. But he didn’t mention whether it was good for one’s beard or not.
Besides, our brain produces a substance, a kind of nectar whose taste is sweet like pear juice, which sages and yogis call Amrit or Soma, and it is said to slow or even stop aging. There are legends about immortal yogis and siddhas living in caves in the Himalayas and Tamil Nadu mountains.
That substance normally drips down from Bindu Visarga to Vishuddha Chakra to Manipura, and there it’s destroyed by Manipura’s fire, what causes aging. Through Kriya Yoga you can stimulate Amrit production and prevent it from falling to Manipura and distribute it to your whole body. Some say you can live just on Amrit, without food.
I don’t know if it really stops or slows down aging, i’m still an infant (36), but i swear that the substance EXISTS and it’s highly intoxicating in a good sense, you can literally get high on Amrit, and it’s taste is delicious.
Bye.
I earned my gray hairs and by golly I’m going to keep them! But that didn’t keep me from getting blond highlights to help them blend in a little more. lol
But really, they say gray hair actually makes men more attractive, and I must agree, it adds a distinguished quality. So don’t knock it.
I’m a yoga beginner,I don’t know,sorry.

WHOA!!!
The thing with the shastras is that the Adepts give just enough information in the teaching so the initate can make sense of it . . . hopefully.
WHereas with the uninitated the information given will be just enough to wholly confuse him.
The asanas that would combat the process of aging would be:
Headstand. Shoulderstand. Bow. Camel. Matsyendranath asana. Peacock.
Paschimottanasana.
and yes my personal favorite: The Lying on the floor Pose.
THE BIGGIES.

Stiles: Thanks! Can you explain what these poses in particular to slow aging ?
