MS (Multiple Sclerosis) – the name itself is scary. This terrifying disease is characterized by restricted mobility, difficulty in walking, and loss of control on muscles, bladder and bowel and many more. What’s more, it cannot be cured. In fact, the conventional school of thought also states that exercise and physiotherapy too are not helpful for patients suffering with MS. So, the 2.5 million patients suffering with this depressing disease have no option but to watch their condition deteriorate till the end.

Well, the answer is ‘NO’; thanks to yoga. In the words of the famous Dr. B.K. Iyengar, Yoga cures what need not be endured and helps to endure what cannot be cured. So, regular yoga practice is the answer to a better quality life for patients suffering with MS.

Why Yoga for MS

Unlike other forms of exercise, yoga has the unique ability to be adapted in tune with the patient’s body type, flexibility, mobility and strength. People with restricted mobility can practice the asana or posture while sitting on the chair or wheelchair or even while lying on the bed. In fact, controlled breathing techniques (Pranayama) itself are known to relax the body and mind. Awareness of the breath and correct breathing techniques benefits the mind and body in multiple ways. What’s more, visualization of poses while breathing helps people with limited mobility and MS. For; the aim of yoga is not limited to the achievement of specific postures. The motto is to combine breathing, posture, movement and awareness to relax, calm down and attain physical benefits too. The asanas practiced in yoga calm the nervous system and help in restoring physical and mental balance.

The instructor, however, must be knowledgeable about MS to help patients benefit from the asanas and pranayama. Namastday hosts yoga workshops, Los Angeles with the best instructors to help people with MS live a happier, healthier life.
