Yoga At 60 Years

by Arunachalam
(Coimbatore, India)

I had back pain and cold allergy for ten years. Doctors were prescribing medicines only. But nobody was ready to tell how to prevent them. At the age of 60 years, I have started yoga and find that within four weeks pain and allergy completely stopped. It is so wonderful. No medicine,but complete relief.



Editors Note

Thanks for submitting your encouraging story and congratulations on your recovery to good health with yoga.

We hope your story will motivate more people to do yoga regularly. We need to do yoga regularly for at least 3-4 weeks to get any appreciable results.

It will be greatly appreciated of you can share more details like time you spent on yoga every day and the sequence of yoga asanas and pranayama that you followed. Did you made any dietary changes?

All the best for your yoga journey.

With warm regards
Daljit

PURE VEG FOOD IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL YOGA PEOPLE
by: B.SRAVAN KUMAR (HYDERABAD)

IN MY OPINION PURE VEGETERIAN FOOD IS IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR ALL YOGA PEOPLE AGE IS NOT A FACTOR.I THINK 'SAATVIK AAHAAR' will HAVE ITS EFFECT INDIRECTLY ON PRANAYAMA AND YOGASANS, ITS BETTER TO TAKE SAATVIK AAHHAR.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with yoga
by: Anonymous

Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences in detail.

Your experience shows that dedicated practice of yoga can bring magical results.

We have to choose a yoga path, get convinced and follow meticulously.

You have brought the most important issue of listening to the body. With practice, we can listen to our body to make better choices in terms of eating, sleeping, taking rest etc. Do whatever is good for the body i.e proper exercise, healthy diet and proper relaxation. Avoid whatever is bad for the body i.e over eating, eating junk food, all negative emotions, lack of exercice, lack of rest and proper sleep.

We are glad to know of your wonderful yoga journey. All the best..

Namaste
Daljit

Yoga At 60 For Retired Good Life
by: Arunachalam

I am doing my yoga at morning 5 AM because the surrounding is calm and the atmosphere is cool and pleasant. The yoga was taught by yoga Dr.Arunkumar,PSG hospital Coimbatore.

Simple asanas for stomach,hip,leg and hands,breathing execrises. I do not know what method Dr. is adopting( i think hatha yoga suitable for old age.)

After asanas I am doing shavasana for relaxing. Then I do pranayma inhaling from one nose and releasing from another nose alternately.

After completing yoga I am doing kriya yoga,Isha Kriya as taught by Isha Yoga Ashram.

Now I am doing yoga in the evening at 5 PM also to relax my body for good night sleep.

The diet method what I am following is very simple. I eat what my stomach accepts. Listen carefully what your body is saying and it will create miracles.

We must take extra care to hear the body language.

Diet and Yoga
by: AnonymousArunachalam

Before starting yoga I have changed my food habits. I stopped Non vegetarian items and snacks. My stomach problem vanished. This is useful for doing yoga.
