Yoga For Hiv/aids
Posted: 10-14-03 00:00am

Question I am a yoga teacher volunteering at an hiv/aids therapy center. I wonder of anyone out there has any knowledge of yoga as an effective physical/psychological treatment for improving the health status of individuals with hiv/aids. I know certain poses are said to trigger a positive immune response, and that the meditative aspect of yoga eases the depression and stress associated with chronic illnesses. But I don't know of any scientific or even anecdotal records of how yoga helps.

Please contact me if you have any information about this topic. Also, if you want some ideas about yoga poses that can strengthen any body, ill or not, let me know.

Namaste!

Kristina
