However, if you tell a novice how to have a role in yoga, you may find that novices do not listen. Their doubts or misunderstandings about yoga, they do not believe that yoga can occur throughout the human body and mind so much change.
When this change, we have to give more conclusive with Western scientific evidence to prove that yoga is beneficial to human health how yoga can help people to treat pain and resist disease. Whether you start practicing yoga, once you understand these, you will have more power to do yoga exercises, and asked the same question next time, you will not tell theory to support your point of view the.
I personally feel have had the therapeutic effect of yoga on people. In 2002, I went to India to investigate the yoga therapy a few weeks ago my right hand have appeared in the status of temporary numbness. My first thought is the worst-case scenario: if a tumor or brain tumor, and then I think the reason that caused this situation, there may be thoracic outlet syndrome, or my neck and chest with nerve blocking phenomena.
Troubled by this situation, I realized that these symptoms will help my trip more meaningful. In my yoga treatment center to visit a different course, you can put yourself out as a case, acceptance of different expert evaluation and treatment of the symptoms, I also happened to be more closely observed them. I can try their suggestions and see which suits me. Of course, this is not a tightly controlled scientific experiment, I know this hands-on exercises can give me a point of never had before to learn.
In fact, my experiment is quite effective. In the vicinity of 维维卡南达 banalore Education Centre, nagarathna and md recommended me yoga Pranayama – imagine that they have the most essence of Reiki breathing to their upper right chest.
