| Haemorrhoids | Classes |  |
|
| Yoga can help
you prevent piles, or haemorrhoids, by promoting local circulation to the anus and
reducing constipation. Piles occur when the flow of blood in the anal veins is obstructed,
casing them to stretch and elongate. If blood drainage is blocked, by chronic constipation
for example, piles result. Sometimes, they can also be a sign of liver disease so consult your doctor before starting yoga. If they are not treat them by curing constipation and improving drainage from the veins, but do avoid jogging. To improve blood drainage practise the half shoulderstand daily. Breathe deeply from your abdomen as you hold the position and contract the anus at each exhalation. Yoga cannot cure already enlarged, non-collapsing piles: these must be dealt with surgically. In mild cases, however, it can help you stop the condition deteriorating and relieves unpleasant symptoms. It will also help to prevent any relapse after surgery. Consult the teacher or a therapist to perform the yoga techniques that are suitable and safe for you. |

| Headaches | |
||
| There are more
than a hundred causes of headache, some functional and some organic. In some cases, they
may indicate a major disorder, such as brain tumour. If yours are acute or have changed
recently you should consult a doctor. Mostly, however, yoga provides an effective
alternative to pain killers. Through asanas that calm you, pranayama exercises that inhibit random energy flares, and meditation that cultivates and relaxes your mind, yoga offers a holistic form of pain relief. It stops you becoming locked in the vicious circle of pain-anxiety-pain that leads to chronic headache problems. Your reaction to a headache changes, which makes it go away more quickly, and as you become calmer, the frequency of your headaches decreases. Tension headaches are the most common and are caused by constant overcontraction of the neck and head muscles. This is usually the result of emotional, or mental conflicts, but in highly sensitive people almost any change in their surroundings may trigger this type of headache. Migraines are more deep-rooted, involving the flow of blood to the brain. Migraine symptoms include pain on one side of the head, nausea, and visual disturbances. It can be triggered by food allergens, sudden stimuli, fatigue, or anxiety. Yoga is a useful therapy for both of these, as well as headaches caused by eyestrain, sinusitis, or hangover. But avoid excessive forward or backward bending, which change the pressure in your head. For direct relief try a nasal wash, deep relaxation with cold pads over your eyes, or neck-rolling three times a day. Avoid the fish and moon postures. If you suffer from nausea, you should consult your doctor to discover the cause. The yoga therapist will then direct you to the most suitable session at the assessment. |

| Heart Disease | |
||
| Your heart is
the hardest working muscle in your body. It is constantly busy, pumping blood through your
arteries and veins and thus providing all your tissues with adequate nourishment, oxygen
supply and a means of disposing of wastes. Heart disease is the most common cause of
premature debilitation and death in affluent societies, and it can, more often than not,
be avoided. Yoga can effectively contribute towards treating and managing heart-related conditions. Those who have never practised yoga can learn techniques to reduce high blood pressure. Yoga can help you change the behaviour you choose to change, reduce stress, and tone your organs. Yoga can contribute to preventing heart conditions by helping to develop self-discipline to reduce risk factors, freeing you from dependency on health-damaging activities and by effective relaxation. It is recommended to first visit your GP should you consider you suffer from such a condition. Yoga techniques can successfully work in tandem with contemporary medical treatment. |

| Abdominal Hernia | |
||
| The abdomen
contains many vital organs that keep you alive and well and that are confined and
protected by the muscles in the abdomen. A hernia occurs when these muscles are weakened
and a gap is made in the abdominal wall from which part of an internal organ bulges out. Such weakness can either be congenital or else caused by surgery or lack of exercise. After surgery the sutre lines are vulnerable sites, while insufficient exercise weakens your muscles and burdens your abdomen with excess fat. Straining these weakened muscles by lifting heavy weights or even through chronic coughing or constipation, can create a gap and result in a hernia. Yoga cannot cure this. Once a gap had been made, hernia-repair surgery is necessary to close it. It can help you avoid a recurrence, however, by strengthening your abdominal muscles, reducing fat, and promoting body awareness. It can also help to prevent a hernia occurring after abdominal surgery. You must wait at least two weeks before starting yoga if you have undergone hernia-repair surgery, longer if you have had other major surgery. Then start yoga gradually, under the supervision of your doctor or a yoga specialist. You must consult your doctor before starting yoga if you have undergone any form of abdominal surgery. Avoid double leg raising, jogging, forward-backward bending, sideways bending, twisting, Sun Salute, prone asana and camel. Let the teacher know of your condition so he or she can make suitable modifications. |

| Hypertension | |
||
| Blood pressure
varies according to your degree of arousal. when you are calm, it is low, but it rises
when you feel exited or when you are under stress. This is brought about by the action of
the sympathetic nervous system, which makes the muscles in the artery walls contract in
response to stimulation. Constant high blood pressure (HBP), or hypertension, occurs after long periods of overstimulation, when your arteries become habituated to constant contraction. Though there may be no symptoms initially, it is important to control HBP, since it may eventually damage the brain and other vital organs if left untreated. Sometimes hypertension results from causes other than stress, so consult your doctor before starting yoga therapy. Yoga can have a supporting effect, if drug therapy is prescribed or surgery is performed. If the cause is stress, practise yoga daily: concentrate on reducing stress reactions, avoid excessive stimulation, and cultivate yogic attitudes in everyday life. But avoid all inverted postures. |

| Hyperventilation | |
||
| Certain chemical
stimuli determine how fast we breathe. The ultimate goad of the respiratory system is to
maintain proper levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen and the system is highly responsive to
changes in the blood levels of either. If there is a change of these levels receptors in the brain are stimulated and the rate of breathing alters. Hyperventilation occurs when the rate of respiration increase, and hypoventilation occurs when there is a slow rate of respiration. We can help our body maintain its natural balance by practising yoga to support holistic balance. Yoga techniques can teach us greater awareness of the breath, and offer us practices which will allos us to breath comfortably and naturally. Deep relaxation and general yoga to help us reduce stress within our body, and to respond in a more efficient way when exposed to stress, can help us become aware and control inefficient breathing habits. |
