Re: san- can you post a link to more info re yoga inversions?
There are 2 separate forums. Inversion therapy forum & YOGA forum.
Inversion therapy promotes the idea of hanging upside down using any aid. ( Inversion table, gravity boots, yoga swing), While using these aids, and being inverted, various exercises can be performed. Like turning the neck, twisting the entire torso, shoulder rotations, inverted crunches etc. Actually the mind calms down so much while inverted, that I even like to meditate. Deep Breathing while inverted is also extremely beneficial for lung cleansing.
After Inverting for 10-15 mins, I like to do the child's pose for 5 mintues or so. Then I do my favourite yoga stretches, Sidebends, forward/backward bends, touching forehead to knees etc. Its wonderful and very relaxing. My backaches and headaches have become history and no I am not taking any HERB, whatsoever. I also take yoga classes which are offered at my work.
I am also strongly against megadosing of any vitamins, supplements, iodine,
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , etc etc. They are all harmful and should be used with extreme caution.
I eat normal food and am not paranoid about my food now. Now that I do my stretches regularly, my digestion has improved so much, that I dont blame it on my diet. I even enjoy potato chips occasionally, which were a strict no-no for me becoz of IBS.
Unfortunately both Inversion therapy and Yoga forum are not very active. This sometimes makes me lose interest in CZ, because I have had enough of all the other therapies. I have been there, done that in most cases.
