Yoga Poses for Fatigue Print E-mail
A gentle yoga practice can relieve feelings of exhaustion, tiredness and loss of strength. The following postures activate and move prana in the body, stimulate and nervous and respiratory systems and rejuvenate the body-mind-spirit. Use hip opening poses to regulate the Liver meridian system to balance emotions of anger, frustration and irritation. If fatigue is due to lack of sleep, use Calming Restorative Poses to help you get a longer and deeper night’s rest. If fatigue is due to poor circulation, use Inversions as well as the Sun Salutations to circulate blood, oxygen and nutrients. If fatigue is due to due to excessive emotions of fear, anxiety, sadness or melancholy, use Chest Opening Back Bends to regulate the Lung and Heart meridians.

Yogic Wisdom
You cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it, just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To "have" running water you must let go of it and let it run.
Alan Watts

Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
