Chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts
longer than 3 months. Some experts define it as
lasting longer than 6 months. Chronic pain is
different than acute pain in that it is not easy
to find the cause. Diagnosis can reveal no injury
in the body at all, and yet the patient can be
experiencing very debilitating pain. The types of
chronic pain which can alleviated by yoga are:
- Upper Back Pain
- Lower Back Pain
- Sacrum Pain
- Hip Pain
- Knee Pain
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
Stress is a feeling that's created when we
react to a challenge with focus, strength,
stamina, and heightened alertness. While an
appropriate level of stress is good in
heightening our performance, long-term exposure
to stress would lead to excessive levels of
stress hormones which can wear out the body's
reserves, leave a person feeling depleted or
overwhelmed, weaken the body's immune system, and
cause many stress-related problems.

- Overweight
- Excessive Weight Loss
A bad or slouching posture is unable to
optimally distribute weight across the body
framework, and is hence ineffective. An average
posture is able to maintain distribution of
weight and form but does not attain optimal form
and maintenance. A good or erect posture is able
to completely and optimally attain balance and
proportion of the body mass and framework. A
well-proportioned erect posture optimizes
breathing and improves the circulation of bodily
fluids. An erect posture is therefore most
desirable and highly effective for the body
structure and proportion. Yoga is able to address
several different posture
conditions.
- General
- Scoliosis
- Hunched Back (Kyphosis)
- Lordosis
