Greetings Mam 1. Do one has to do yoga 7 days in a week? 2. can we do something like squat on feet on the floor or a little exercise after the dinner? is 5 minutes OK for good digestion ?

Ans: Hi, Subhash, Yoga can certainly help with pain management. While it is not possible to suggest the best postures without knowing your particular situation. In general, including postures like cobra, locust, camel, pavanmuktasana, triangle etc can help. When you do yoga postures gently and mindfully they carry minimal risk. You can also use Iyengar Yoga props to make other postures accessible and I would highly recommend them for anyone with backpain. You must also include pranayama and meditation for pain management. People who regularly practice breathing exercises show a marked reduction in back pain, so please don't ignore them. All the best!

Ans: Yes but gradually, also you should select the routine according to your body, possible ailments etc. If you are just starting, then its' a must to join a good class or get a certified teacher. For beginners, I will recommend starting with daily walks and pranayams and then initiating simple asanas like - tadasana, vajrasana, trikonasana and paschimmottanasana (sitting & standing).

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.

Ans: Namaste Manish ji,
All Yogasanas are fabulous to reduce weight, increase flexibility and improve balance. Please consult a qualified yoga instructor to start your yoga journey.
