Yoga for "Dis-eases"

So many people are now being referred to yoga for medical "dis-eases". May it be from their doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor, even psychologist.What makes yoga remarkable when suffering from Asthma, Anxiety, Depression, ADD, High Blood Pressure, Stress.....is that is helps us to regain control of our lives. It brings us back to the basics. We choose to complicate our lives by constantly searching for answers outside of us. We are programmed to wake up, maybe drop off kids, go to work, pick up kids maybe, eat dinner, watch tv, pass out from exhaustion, stress, and wake up to do the whole thing over and over again. We feel guilty if we want to take care of ourselves, b.c we don't think it would be productive. We blame others for or short comings and we pop pills for quick fixes. When we start to get stressed or express symptoms of dis-ease our body starts to talk to us in subtle ways. We may have problems in our joints, maybe problems with grinding our teeth, uncontrollable sighs even. Our body starts to crave oxygen and we have 2 choices: we can pay attention to our body or ignore it and hope for the best. We do this with breathing. Try it....INHALE (for 3.2.1.)....PAUSE......Exhale (for 3.2.1) Do this 3 times. How do you feel?We were born to breathe and with breathing comes life. This is what we call Prana in yoga- your life energy or life force.It is a proven fact that if you don't breathe you will faint, pass out, maybe even die. Let's not  let that happen, especially when you have all this paperwork you have to complete.Here is a video, Breathe with me:)
