Yoga For Chronic Illness Yoga ForChronic IllnessJnani Chapman, RNWaz Thomas was teaching yoga to people with cancer atCommonweal's week long residential retreat program along the northernCalifornia coast when he tested HIV Positive. Now, 13 years later, heis still teaching yoga adapted to the special needs of people withcancer, many of whom are living with complicated disease andtreatment scenarios. In those years, Waz, himself, has had onehospitalization for bacterial pneumonia and an occasional chronicsinus or ear infection, but overall he continues to look and feelgreat. While yoga has been observed and experienced for morethan 3,000 years to help maintain and restore health, it has onlybeen recently introduced in the West. Most people associate yoga withexercise and most yoga classes focus the entire time on physicalmovement. But yoga is in many ways opposite of exercise and some ofthe non- movement oriented practices of yoga can have a profoundeffect on the physical body. In exercise, we engage in a rhythmic repetitive muscularmovement. The brain responds by telling the muscle fibers to shortenand tighten. Muscle fatigue with exercise may bring us a satisfyingfeeling and tell us we got a good workout. In contrast, fatigue inthe body in yoga is an indication that we may be doing somethingwrong. Sore muscles are a sign that we over did it in stretching orholding a pose. The goal in hatha yoga is to keep the muscles relaxedin movement so that the muscles actually elongate. The resultingincrease in range-of-motion and flexibility is accompanied byimproved sense of well being.The yoga practitioner engages the body in a stretchextending and elongating as much as is comfortable into a pose, notas much as possible. This distinction is important because nowadaysmany yoga studios are teaching a more aerobic, almost aggressivestyle that is actually more like exercise than yoga. These classesare popular and provide a good workout, but they may better bethought of as a combination of yoga and exercise, rather than aclassical yoga session. Such a class can substitute as exercise forpeople who want to cross train or expand their exercise options. Onecan expect the class to improve strength, muscle tone, cardiovasculartone, and provide some increase in flexibility. For people who aretrying to restore and maintain health, however, this modified form ofyoga exercise may actually perpetuate a depletion syndrome. How is this so? Exercise stresses muscles, and, whilethis can be useful and helpful, if one over-does it in exercise, itcan initiate a stress response in the body. Muscle fibers stay tightand active during rest (consuming oxygen that the body is notproducing for them as it is when we exercise.) Our skeletal musclesare well endowed with capillary beds -- a rich, intricate network ofblood vessels which provide the oxygen needed for the muscles towork. Overdoing exercise may induce a competition for oxygen as thestress response increases metabolism, increasing the body's need foroxygen. The engaged muscles will continue to receive the oxygen theyneed, while other parts of the body, like internal organs, theendocrine and immune systems, may suffer. The physical Postures and movements of yoga arecollectively known as hatha yoga. Hatha Yoga focuses at itscore on flexibility of the spine: forward bends balancebackward-bending poses, left twists balance twists to the right.There are even inverted positions to counter-balance gravity. In theSanskrit language of ancient India, Tha means moon and hameans sun. The two together are indicating the balance of opposites(night and day, Yin and Yang). The spine is integral for physicalbalance. Self-awareness is integral for emotional balance. Theattitude one brings to hatha practices is as important as thepractice itself. One could say if exercise is Yang, that yoga is YinExercise is physical effort, but in yoga the effort is primarilyMental. On a treadmill I the mind can be a million miles away, yetthe person still achieves a physical benefit. But in yoga the mindmust be present, attentive in the moment, noticing what is happeningand aware of how it feels. The best definition of yoga I have ever heard comes fromTKV Desikachar, considered by many to be the father of yoga therapy,who said, "Awareness, breath and movement - that is yoga!"It is often said that awareness is the first step in change. If wehave things we want to change physically, mentally, emotionally andeven in the amount of available daily energy and stamina - ourwillingness to see and accept those things as they are may be a keyto enabling change, movement, and growth. Hatha yoga practice givesus time to look at ourselves, and that time spent will be fruitful tothe extent that we are genuinely willing to explore, discover, andhonor our limits. As you stretch and breathe, be aware of any competitivethoughts or judgments. Don't let them guide your actions. Letyourself relax into each stretch and stay relaxed as you move andbreathe. When Waz Thomas teaches yoga at Commonweal he is adaptingthe hatha to meet the needs of each student. Each class usuallyincludes hatha postures and stretches, breathing practices, a guideddeep relaxation and a period of silent meditation. He says that thesepractices are integrated into his- daily life informing his actionsmoment by moment. In fact, Waz says, "I feel that my health isbetter than most of my friends who are not dealing with AIDS,"and he credits yoga for its part in keeping him relatively symptomfree. May the practices of yoga continue to serve the needs ofpersons with HIV/Aids, cancer and other life threatening conditions,helping people to sustain and regain functional status, quality oflife and feelings of well being during difficult times.
