Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi Linda, well, the student should stay in contact with his/her doctor. Does he/she have symptoms and/or feels problems at all ? Regariding BOF and stretch pose etc.: Let her/him try out *slowly* and *carefully*. Do not force anything! She has to develop an awareness whats going on in the diaphragm area. If there are no symptoms during or after beginning exercises (would be heartburn and acid regurgitation, Pain in the chest, difficulty breathing or trouble swallowing), then *slowly* let her get used to the exercises, built up . When the diaphragm becomes trained, and eating is reduced to smaller portions, then the diaphragm will strengthen and things will get fine. Especially with all the other benefits from Yoga like Relaxation, enhanced awareness , proper diet etc... see also Message # 20143 Sat Nam Guru Shabad (Martin, Duesseldorf, Germany) Kundaliniyoga, linda kirby <assortedbeings> wrote: > > Sat Nam, > > A new student of mine has a sliding hiatal hernia.
