Yoga is not just positive thinking and visualization. That is one part of it. Yoga includes 8 different parts, let me mention three parts out of the eight which are most relevant for most people with COPD: 1. Psycho-emotional and behavioral guidelines (Yama and Niyama) for positive mental attitude, lifestyle and relationships 2. Muskelo-skeletal exercises (Asanas) some of which can be very beneficial for general flexibility and endurance and spinal flexibility and strength (good for muscles of respiration) without raising the heart rate and can create mental effect of calmness and relaxation and sense of well-being. The ability to stretch, exercise and relax the upper body is very important for people with COPD. People with COPD carry a lot of tension in the shoulders and chest. Likewise, it is crucial to stretch, relax, bend, twist and elongate the spine for increasing the efficiency of breathing. 3. Breathing technique (Pranayama) which has hundreds of techniques and some of them can be very beneficial for slowing the breathing and lengthening the exhalation and thus for more efficient emptying of the lungs. We practice coordinating the breathing with spinal movements which is particularly good for the breathing and spine 4. Concentration and mind-training techniques (Dharna and Dhyana) which too can be highly beneficial for relaxation and mental and emotional control which can have effect on your own healing powers. What is unique about yoga is that you may just do the muskelo-skeletal exercises alone and not bother with any other parts of yoga and you will still derive physical and mental benefits, increased breathing efficiency, sense of well being and improved outlook and mood. However, you have to know which exercises are particularly good and how to coordinate it with your breathing. Some of the exercises specifically adapted for people with COPD are provided in my DVDs “Stretching and Breathing Adapted for People with COPD” This is not a sales pitch but that is the only yoga based stretching and breathing DVD for COPD that I know of. Question 10 I am interested in taking a yoga class. How do I know that the yoga teacher is welltrained and reputable and not just somebody who has no idea what they're doing and just wants my money? Moreover, I have COPD. I am limited in my exercise ability and I might need special instruction. How should I go about finding a good yoga teacher? Answer Your concern is very valid. There are a lot of untrained as well as highly trained yoga teachers in U.S. Here are a few guidelines:
1. Only go to a teacher who is registered with Yoga Alliance (a credential evaluation body) at least 200 hours, preferably at 500 hours level, which means that they have received teachings in Yoga for 200 hours or 500 hours. 2. Go to a teacher who teaches "gentle" yoga, soothing and nourishing yoga rather than strong, power, or challenging yoga 3. Go to a teacher who teaches coordinating breathing with yoga poses. Some teachers would only focus on yoga poses and that is not good 4. If they have seen my DVD or attended my workshop in "Yoga for COPD" that would be an added bonus IMPORTANT: A YOGA TEACHER OR PERSON WITH COPD SHOULD NEVER ADVOCATE THAT YOGA ALONE IS ALL YOU NEED. PEOPLE WITH COPD NEED YOGA, SOME AEROBIC EXERCISE (WALKING OR TREAD MILL) AND SOME RESISTANCE TRAINING SUCH AS WITH WEIGHTS
