Pains! Pains! I need Help!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am new with KY. However, I found the few streching

exercises very helpful but suddenly,everythuing

changed! I started experiencing more pains than

normal. The knees, Spine, Ribs, Ankles etc started to

hurt.

 

Perhaps, I presumed, it was because I tried to achieve

any posture- even if it hurts so badly...but I

realised that as I stopped the Asanas for a day, the

Pains got worse, so I continued, this time more genlly

then before but i still feel much pain in the process!

I believe there should be a way out with YOGA too, so

I never saw a Doctor but I still however need some

help here!!! What should I do? How do I get

pain-free??!

 

I'd also love to know how to perfectly master the

Half-Lotus pose, comfortablly! I'd be really glad to

get help from this Group.

 

Thank You all...

Sat Nam Snenry!

 

I'll let others address the pain questions. As for the half lotus, I

enjoy that one the best. I'm not sure how long you've been practicing

yoga, I've only been doing it about 9 months now. I started out doing

easy pose for most asanas that called for it. When I meditated, I

would do easy pose as well. Even half lotus at that time I couldn't

hold more than a few seconds. However, I just kept practicing. Every

time I did yoga, I would sit as long as I could in half lotus. ANd it

progressively got longer. Now I use half lotus instead of easy pose

for a lot of the postures because I find it more comfortable.

Basically just practice is all I can recommend. I can get into a full

lotus now, but again, not for very long. There's no 'quick fixes'

here, but just a lot of persistance.

 

Good luck and keep up the practice. The pains may be from using

muscles you didn't know you had (I certainly had that occur too when

I first started).

I'm wondering if you just overdid it a bit with new exercises...

Kundalini Yoga can be a serious workout. Take it easy and try just

the basics first.

 

You know you can reduce the times of exercises in a kriya? Like doing

something for 1 minute instead of the maximum 3. You should probably

do that as a beginner.

 

I get sore after almost every KY kriya I practice! HA! Something that

I have never felt before will hurt like devil! But it's a good pain,

like I needed to work that muscle finally, you know? I like

stretching out a bit in the evening after a challenging KY practice

that day to help alleviate any soreness the next day. Sometimes it

helps!

 

Sat Nam and just keep up and you'll be kept up!
