The brain is greedy for oxygen and glucose- it consumes around 20% of the body's oxygen and glucose.It is therefore important for optimal brain function to have a good circulation to the brain and optimise the entry of oxygen into our bodies. 
This yoga sequence opens up the chest with back bends to ensure a good supply of oxygen to the body and inversions bring oxygen to the brain.

This mudra (hand gesture) will help direct energy towards the brain-
