In Ravi Shingh's video 'Fat Free Yoga' (my favorite yoga video) he says

bow pose with breath of fire "is said to melt fat right off the body" also

that BOF will turn any excercise into an arobic excercise.

Hello,

 

I am a KY and Hatha Yoga teacher(46 years old), who has had some hip

/groin

discomfort for about a year and tenderness in the knee for a few months.

I

recently have gotten a dx of mild to moderate degenerative arthritic

changes to the R hip and L knee joint. I am concerned about what course

to take in my teaching. I fear I may need to discontinue full-time

teaching and that is very upsetting to me.

 

My questions are:

I wonder if the ballistic movements or other aspects of KY are

contributing

to this(done perhaps improperly or too much). I have a couple of hip

bone spurs that seem to exacerbate the problem of the tenderness there.

 

How have other teachers begun to manage the issues of aging bodies in

their

practice and teaching?

 

Also, Aside from glucosamine/chondroitin, silica and "bone on" calcium

supplements are there any supplements/ diet change that I may make to

support continuing being active. I'm especially hope there will be some

way to deal with the bone spurs. (Diet is probably the weakest part of

my yogic practice and it may have caught up with me.)

 

Thank you for any help/hope you can offer.

Dear,

Pain in the groin and knee may refer to the liver meridian, try a liver

cleansing, drink a lot of yogi tea, make a set for the liver and see whether

there is any change.

 

Bless and Sat Nam
