A Holistic Approach to Pain Relief – Yoga and Arthritis
So, first thing’s first – what is a yoga bolster and why do you need one? A yoga bolster is a shaped cushion used in different styles of yoga, especially restorative yoga (yoga postures that are held for several minutes at a time resulting in calming the body and mind). They are designed to provide support for certain parts of the body to make certain yoga positions more comfortable and to prevent injury
Since chair yoga generally will use every body part that can move, the entire workout serves to increase circulation as a result of the yoga moves. Many people think only about cardiovascular health but there are other forms of circulation to be concerned with.
Sitting still all day long with minimal exercise just invites disease of all sorts. Diabetics will be able to keep their sugar levels in a more acceptable zone with more physical movement. Chair yoga has routines for all the extremities that diabetics often have issues with – feet, toes, hands, fingers. There is no part of the body left out.
The basic tenets of yoga are actually all that is needed in the treatment of arthritis. Bending exercises and contorted poses are obviously not an option. But it is the practice of breathing and self-awareness that brings arthritis pain relief to so many people.
Chair yoga is actually classified as an aerobic exercise. Any exercise that increases the circulatory and respiratory ability or that causes the heart and lungs to work harder to keep up with the need for oxygen is an aerobic exercise. Even yoga from a chair will do that and with this whole body approach, the immune system is also stimulated.
So don’t let the fact that you can’t easily move around keep you from doing any exercises. The “No pain – no gain” philosophy is going by the wayside anyway so forget about that. Just do some yoga from your chair and get a lot more physical benefits than you think you can
