|
| The male
reproductive organs have two main functions: lovemaking and fertilization and as a urinary
tract. Both these functions can be disturbed by psychosomatic factors and stress, as well
as the gradual degeneration that accompanies old age. Stress is a major cause of sexual problems; it makes you less affectionate, less imaginative, and disturbs the harmony between you and your partner, hence disturbing your sexual relationship. It can also often cause premature ejaculation or impotence. Yoga reduces stress, tones your body, and balances your energy flow, helping you to overcome such problems. Meditation and Emotional Culturing also help you to understand and relate to your partner better. To avoid premature ejaculation, there is an appropriate breathing and stretching sequence, and another routine to help impotence and boost flagging sexual energies. In later life, men often suffer from an enlarged prostate gland, which may block the outlet from the bladder. The therapist can recommend a yoga session to help prevent minor blockages.There are specific practices for more difficult blockages. Persistant blockages, reduced flow, and residual urine, however, require surgical treatment. |

| ME (ME/CFS & Fatigue) | Classes | |
|
| ME, or Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis, is an illness affecting the muscles, brain and nervous system. Now more
widely recognised, the medical profession call it CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As well
as physical and mental fatigue being part of the illness, the inertia resulting from lack
of exercise results in added fatigue. Other chronic fatigue conditions can be induced and maintained by stress, and are a common feature of modern life. Chronic fatigue is generalised and ordinary forms of rest bring little respite. Mental tensions are often expressed as constant partial contraction of the muscles, which depletes your energy and disrupts your breathing pattern, making you continuously tired. Your muscles remain tense even when you are inactive and resting, so until you reduce your stress levels you cannot get relief. Practising yoga techniques, rather than exercise, is an obviously more preferable and successful approach for the body, mind and emotions. In people whose physical ability is limited, yoga can offer relaxation, visualisation, meditation, pranayama and emotional culturing. Excessive, sudden or unexplained fatigue may be caused by an illness and you should consult your doctor for a diagnosis before attending yoga classes. |

| The cause of
this disease is, as yet, unknown - other than that it attacks the nervous system. Over the
years, it slowly and progressively takes away the use of the muscles, limbs, and sometimes
causes blindness. And since there is no medical cure, sufferers are faced with the
prospect of an ever-worsening condition. Understandably, depression is often an additional
problem. If you suffer from MS, yoga can give you courage and the power to utilize whatever residual muscular capacity you have left. This is often greater than is realized, for when one group of muscles is incapacitated, another group can usually take over. Many people with MS, who thought they would be confined to wheelchairs for life, have been able to walk and resume former activities through yoga. Though retraining the body to do this is not easy, deep relaxation, pranayama, meditation, and movement exercises can be effective. Deeper changes in the nervous system, through regular pranayama and meditation, may also delay further degeneration. Even when the condition becomes very severe, yoga can help you learn to accept life as it comes through meditation, 'happiness analysis' and 'emotional culturing'. Our popular teacher, Julie Bullock, recently returned from a trip to India, has been running the MS course since its instigation. The session includes relaxation techniques, limbering exercises, classical sitting and standing postures and pranayama (i.e. energising breathing techniques). Newcomers are always welcome. A short assessment is recommended before joining.
