Noel's answer to Rob is the one that came immediatly to mind when I

read the inquiry. Many people with vata prakruti and or vata disease

often find problems with all exercise. Certain disease processes

(common) are not ameniable to physical exertion. Examples in modern

terms are thyroid disease, adrenal exhaustion, chronic fatigue

syndrome, hypoglycemia, etc. - these pathologies should avoid

exertion as it only makes the symptoms worse. In such cases mild

exercises can be attempted and if nothing untowrad happens then

cautiously proceed - but the main objective should be to calm and

stabalize the nervous system. Stable vata prakruti is very receptive

to yoga asana if done intelligently and systematically - there are

several techniques of slow practice that solve this problem - but

exhaustive types of diseases as mentioned before must be ruled out

first.

 

I find that if people with vata disorders eat a more substantial

diet - possibly to correct protein deficiency - this helps to

stabalize the reactive quality somewhat. Most importantly in vata

problems is to eat regular (perhaps up to 5 meals per day)warm,

salty, unctous, soupy, substantial diet along with vata reducing

treatments and medicines this keeps the reactive state from

developing so rapidly and reactively.

 

Do not forget that many of the greatest minds have realized without

any referance to yoga asana - the flexibilty problems of human nature

and strength development of the muscles and nervous system can be

achieved in other ways than yoga asana.

 

Look first for severe vata disease before coming to final conclusion -

maybe it is the answer maybe not.

Dear Rob,

I am not an ayurvedic physician but have a few suggestions for the situation.

Dizziness and nausea during/ after yogasans could be due to several reasons

ranging from simple exhausation to some serious problem that would need to be

investigated. My immediate concern would be

 

1. Whether your wife has an underlying cardiac problem which may as such be

sublinical but gets aggravated by performing the exercises

 

2. On a similar line, a high blood pressure may cause such problem

 

3. Problems with spine, specifically cervical spondylosis would lead to

compromise of blood to brain during postures that involve severe bending of

spine may also lead to dizziness and nausea.

 

Of course the learned members of this group have been sharing their expertise, I

just wanted to let you know of my apprehensions on the issue.

 

Regards

Vineet
