Guest guest Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi there i have a student in my basic level class who has a hernia that has previously been operated on. The doctor told her it is splitting along the edge of the old incision and she'll eventually have to have it done again. what poses should I direct her not to try?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 most postures will effect this area so great care must be taken not to traumatise the hernia. it may have already damaged this sensitive problem. she should get advise from her doctor as to how much yoga she can do. avoid anything that stretchs the abs or twists the area. ashtanga may be to much at this stage. do modified sun salutation to maintain fitness namaste anthony ashtangayoga , " Jennie " <whydoyoga wrote: > > Hi there > i have a student in my basic level class who has a hernia that has > previously been operated on.
