Yoga for Pain Relief
Can your local yoga instructor help you with solutions for back aches? Back pain causes many people to suffer greatly, day after day…
The Good and Bad About Yoga for Your Wrists
Typical postures that trigger discomfort within the wrists are yoga poses, such as the crow, downward-facing dog, upward-facing dog and side plank, simply because they need the wrists to be in total extension, and to maintain the body weight up. Each of these poses can be achieved on your forearms, taking away all pressure on your wrists. Concentrate on your wrists, and make adjustments while you are in the pose.
Yin Yoga for Pain
The connective tissues in the body often hold surgical trauma and emotional bracing. Yin Yoga postures are very effective for releasing some of this deeply held fear and tension, by undoing the physical constriction in the body and washing away some of the anxious thoughts in the mind, in a safe and effective manner. The deep sense of relaxation and release that comes from a practice of Yin Yoga will help to further support you during your cancer recovery process, which is understandably a very challenging and difficult time for most Yoga practitioners.
Yoga For Shin Splints
Regular practice of yoga when running is resumed can continue to maintain this improved flexibility, which will promote muscle health while running. Yoga and meditation bring relaxation to muscles that are tense, and running can be a good cardiac exercise to combine with these alternative exercises to promote the health of the body and mind.
