Hello all,<br>if a woman has a thrombosis in the

right knee-aerea, what about yoga? The thrombus is

still inside, and the leg is a little bit swollen(?),

she can walk along, but it's unsecure what about the

postthrombotic syndrom. Any advice welcome. Lu

lu,<br><br>I don't think that it is adviseable to

do Ashtanga Yoga if suffering a thrombosis. The

Iyengar approach might be a much safer bet in this

case.<br><br>Please note that I am no medical expert, so that I can

only give you my personal view here. But I guess that

all inverted postures, i.e. Sirsasana, Sarvangasana

etc. are very good for healing a thrombosis. In

Iyengar Yoga there is also a posture called Viparita

Karani which, if done in a supported fashion against a

wall and with the help of a bolster, might even be

ideal.<br><br>I would recommend you the following books, which

deal with special medical conditions and which are all

excellent:<br><br>Mira Mehta: <br>1. How to use Yoga <br>2. Yoga - The

Iyengar Way <br> <br>Suza Francina:<br>The New Yoga for

People Over 50 (wonderful book; although I don't belong

to its target readership - I am young and healthy

still - it's actually one of my favourites on yoga:

this book is full of wisdom, and full of

truth.)<br><br>The last two books are also available in German.
