ashtanga yoga sinus and gastro problems during practice

[Guest guest]

Ro-

I have the same thing! Sometimes I have to stop to blow my nose, or spit out

phlehm. Then-especially with the spine-twisting asanas, have to burp. It feels

like my body is just digesting and clearing out the system. I think it's a

"good" sign because I feel much more çlean' afterwards. but with the burping- it

happens more on days when I've have caffeine, or a little too much to eat. Any

insights you have into not burping so much-please let me know!

Cheers, jan (SF, CA)

Thanks, Jan. I have tried drinking room temperature water before class

rather than cold. That seems to help a little. You're probably right that

it's a good sign, anyway : )

Running nose - The body heat generated by the practice

turbine melts the dried up phelgm in the chest and

causes the river flow. Obviously, this is desirable.

 

Burp vs. Fart - Eating 3-4 hours before practice can

lead to gaseous bursts. One can escape the fart

embarassment by appplying the Mula Bandha (root lock;)

 

Gayathri.
