YOGA SIDE EFFECTS

9/7/2015

Comments

 
Recently, a new client came in with intense neck pain.  We did a series of Embodyment® Yoga Therapy sessions.  After the first session, he reported that he slept better that night.  "Oh," I said, "that is a side effect of yoga.  You may find that yoga helps you get a good nights sleep."  After the third session, he said his lower back had never felt better.  He has had multiple back surgeries and was still experiencing chronic pain.  "Oh," I said, "that is a side effect of yoga.  It might relieve long held pain."  After every session he noted a sense of great relaxation.  "Oh," I confessed, "feeling relaxed is definitely one side effect of yoga."
Be sure to read the fine print before you take up yoga.
Side effects may include:
  • improved mood;
  • increased flexibility;
  • more fluid movement;
  • improved balance;
  • increased sense of self-worth; and
  • an overall sense of joy.

If any of these side effects last more than 4 hours, tell your friends to try yoga too.
PS:  The new client's neck pain decreased significantly after the yoga therapy sessions.
