Question I am a 56 year old female suffering from Levator Ani Syndrome. Can you give me advice as to which yoga postures will help relieve this condition? Thank you very much!
Answer Hello Deborah
I am not aware of your general health. Presently are you practicing yoga or totally new to yoga practice? Although, I have not come across any patient of Levator Ani Syndrome, I will suggest yoga postures for you. I am sure Yoga practice along with simple and nutritious diet, and little bit of meditation will help you. When nothing seems to work, have faith in God.
1. Avoid constipation. Have a diet rich in fiber. Include lot of sprouts, salads and fruits in your diet. Drink plenty of water. Have fixed timings for meals.
Preferably do your yoga practice early in the morning after clearing your bowels. Any time in your practice, you feel discomfort, stop particular asana and take rest. Do not strain yourself excessively if you are not able to do any asana. If you are not able to achive desired pose, complete the movement till you feel comfortable. As you keep practicing you will be able to do most of the asanas.
Yoga Nidra http://www.yoga-for-beginners-a-practical-guide.com/yoga-nidra.html
(while practicing use auto suggestion, concentrate on the muscles in the affected area affirm to yourself that your muscles are getting relaxed, your are feeling better and you will get cured.
6. If you are new to yoga, you can join my free yoga course. Best approach for beginners is to concentrate on rhythmic breathing and alom vilom. Do not forget to relax in shava asana for 10-15 minutes after yoga practice.
7. In case of any query you can ask a follow up question.
8. I will be grateful to you if you can let me know about your application of yoga to your illness.
