Hi mam , i am 22 year old girl with asthma not severe but when my back got tensed i am not able to breath properly. I started doing yoga regularly from past 2 months, before also i used to do but was not consistent but now i am . Whenever i meditate or sit in sukh asana for more than 5 minutes my back muscles get tensed and i am not able to maintain the posture

Ans: Practise Yoga from what you are capable now. With regular practise you will be able to do Sukhasana. Until then sit with back support.
Preludes in yoga which is called Yama-the attitude towards self. One of Tha Yamas is Ahimsa - Non violence to yourself. So please do not violate your body capacity. You will be able to breathe well into Sukhasana one day

Health

yoga for back pain and neck pain

Ans: Here's what you should do
1. Add a variety of postures for the whole body (don't focus on just the back)
2. Move in all directions (side bending, twists, back bend, forward bend etc), but keep it slow and keep checking what feels good and what doesn't
3. Avoid perfectionism or pursuit of 'one correct alignment'
4. Gradually make it more challenging as you start getting comfortable
5. Lastly, practice pranayama and meditation as they are immensely helpful for pain management.

I cannot emphasise enough the sheer power of yogic breathing exercises and meditation in reducing pain and improving quality of life. So, do not ignore them. All the best!

I have two quessuons 1 I have a pain in my left leg knee. Doctor advised me to take calcium tablets and allowed yoga without jumps ? Can I do yoga? 2.i started yoga since last 6 days Geting cough in the night ? Is it due to yoga ? If so what is the temedy ? Regards

Ans: You can definitely practice yoga under guidance. Postures are extremely beneficial when done correctly. Without directly impacting the left knee you can work on the upper body, the core and the waist. Calcium is good to have, so definitely take it in its prescribed dosage. The morning sunlight is also very good to build bone strength. Drink warm water throughout the day. Eat plenty of drumsticks as they contain high amounts of calcium and iron that will help you heal the knee faster. Avoid preservative and fermented foods. You cannot get coughing because of Yoga, if anything Practicing yoga will only help heal the body overall. Try drinking a warm glass of milk that is infused with turmeric and ghee. It’s an age old grandmothers recipe.

Namaste Radhika mam. Can yoga help cure asthma? Or is it risky to do yoga when you have breathing problems?

Ans: Namaste!!
In fact Practicing Pranayam will help cure asthma. The trick is to learn those Pranayams that can be of help to you. Talk to an expert and do abhyas under their guidance please. Just remember that yogic breathing exercises especially during breath retention, can cause further damage if not done under guidance. Hope this will help.
