Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I had the same problem for a while, I think it has something to do with your adenoids. I started using a liquid for my nose that helps in case of stuffed nose and after only doing it for a few days the problem disappeared. But might be better to just go to the doctor and tell him about his problem. One of the women practicing in my studio had this problem and had an operation. She says she had never had this problem since. jana On Saturday, January 31, 2004, at 12:15 AM, volae wrote: > Message: 3 > Wed, 28 Jan 2004 15:30:52 -0600 > aleister > Breathing > > Hello all, > > Since I was given a great deal of good advice in regards to jump > throughs I wanted > to ask another question. > > When I am in downward facing dog, I get stuffed up very quickly and > find it hard > to breath the way I should.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I also get a very stuffed nose in this position, and headstand, even after I've taken my nose spray. I have very bad allergies, but I find if I continue my moves and get to shoulderstand pose, this totally clears everything up. When my allergies are really bad, I do this pose and it really helps. I hold it longer than usual, then I feel great afterwards. I find any downward facing move plugs my nose, but any upward facing move helps to clear it naturally. You should try some upward facing moves after downward dog. It should help. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
