Yoga and Endo:
Yoga brings great benefits to anyone wishing to practice. It can be especially beneficial for those who, like me, have Endometriosis. I have found through regular practice that Yoga helps to bring clarity of mind, focus and stability. It is through this stability and grounding that we begin to look at our body and this this disease in a new light. Postures that work on energising, waking, twisting and turning internal organs, releasing toxins, working the nerves, muscles, every part of every part of you begins a workout and greatly benefits. The beauty of Yoga is that it starts working from the moment you practice. Benefits are felt almost immediately.
"How can i do this when in such pain" - The key is to start small with gentle stretches to energise and wake up the body. for many it will be introducing the body to exercise again, in a gentle form. As you become more flexible and willing to practice you can move on to shall we say bigger postures that work to rebuild muscle, tone the body from inside out. Yoga is your personal journey and I personally feel it is a most valuable tool for not only those with Endometriosis but for anyone who wants to unite mind, body and spirit.
