Yoga classes designed to help people 'get over' emotional trauma

A woman who turned to yoga to cope with her divorce is hoping to help others going through similar experiences with her new yoga classes.
New Yorker Lisa Kirchner, 47, was living in Qatar with her husband when they decided to get a divorce in 2006. Since the local gym had limited 'women-only' hours, she resorted to taking Ashtanga yoga classes - with surprisingly successful results.
'I started a yoga practice and I began to get massively better,' Ms Kirchner told DNA Info. 'I was getting relief after the divorce in a way that I hadn't felt in a long time - and I never expected it.'
Moving forward: New Yorker Lisa Kirchner, 47, has launched a series of classes called Yoga for Getting Over It, with special poses to help people overcome traumatic events like a divorce or a job loss
Now, she has launched a $50 two-hour class called Yoga for Getting Over It, with the hope of teaching others how to move forward with special yoga positions.
The first class took place at the Mind and Body Studio at Chelsea Piers on Saturday, and she plans to teach more nationwide in the near future.
Not only does the workout provide respite from the stress and angst that come with emotional events, but Ms Kirchners claims that certain yoga poses can even target particular issues.

Is local yoga too affluent, white and cliquish?
Posted: at 6:49 pm
Yoga Journal's 2012 "Yoga in America" study estimated that 20.4 million Americans practice yoga. Of those, 82 percent are women and 63 percent fall between the ages of 18 and 44.
In the past decade, it's been amazing to watch the yoga community in Charleston grow and evolve, offering an array of studios, styles and instructors.
I've watched it both as a journalist and a sporadic practitioner. My one-foot-in, one-foot-out gives me, I think, a bit of an interesting perspective.
I see both the good and the sometimes offensive parts of the local yoga scene.
So I was struck by a blog post shared by a Facebook acquaintance of mine who leans toward acro yoga. Its response caught my attention about a month ago and made me ponder how much it applied to our local community.
The post "Why I left yoga" by blogger "Earth Energy Reader," generated a range of reactions by local yogis, from longtime instructors to beginners.
In a nutshell, the blogger talked about how he joined the "yoga bandwagon" eight years ago.
"I fell in love with how yoga made my body feel after a particularly tough workout," he says. "I, too, fell into the pseudo-spiritual aspects of the practice."
"And, finally I, too, got burned out by the practice, disillusioned and, at times, even disgusted at the people who I thought should be setting an example to the rest of us but turns out that they are even more messed up than you realize and the yoga was just an effective cloak to hide their true nature and personalities."
He became disenchanted with the business of yoga, such as workshops and retreats, and with the fact that most people practicing it were generally affluent whites. The blogger describes himself as "brown" and of Indian heritage.

No harm in yoga: But not much help for asthma sufferers
Posted: at 6:49 pm
PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:
2-Jun-2014
Contact: Hollis Heavenrich-Jones hollisheavenrich-jones@acaai.org 847-427-1200 American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (May 29, 2014) Yoga has long been promoted as a method for improving physical and mental well-being. And although yoga is often suggested to asthma sufferers to help alleviate symptoms, a new study found little evidence that yoga will improve symptoms.
Researchers of the report, which is published in the June issue of Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), examined 14 previously published studies to determine the effectiveness of yoga in the treatment of asthma.
"Many people practice yoga for its health benefits, including asthma sufferers," said Holger Cramer, PhD, lead author of the study. "We reviewed the available data to see if it made a difference and found only weak evidence that it does. Yoga can't be considered a routine intervention for patients with asthma at this time. But it can be considered an alternative to breathing exercises for asthma patients interested in complementary interventions."
In the review, 824 adults were part of 14 studies examined for evidence that yoga improves control, symptoms, quality of life and lung function in patients with asthma. Participants in the studies were from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. Because only one trial included children, the effects of yoga on children couldn't be evaluated.
"Many asthma sufferers look to complementary therapies, such as yoga, to help relieve their symptoms," said allergist Michael Foggs, MD, ACAAI president. "If yoga helps them to feel better and breathe better, patients should by all means practice it. At the same time, we don't advise that yoga be recommended to asthma sufferers as a treatment."
According to ACAAI, prevention is always the best strategy in controlling asthma symptoms. Asthma sufferers should work with their board-certified allergist to determine situations that prompt attacks and avoid these situations whenever possible. Asthma triggers can include exposure to allergens, respiratory infections and cold weather. If asthma attacks are severe, unpredictable or flare up more than twice a week, then asthma treatment with a long-term control medication is recommended. Long-term medications are preventive, taken daily and can achieve and maintain control of asthma symptoms. For people with allergic asthma, immunotherapy (allergy shots) may offer relief from symptoms prompted by allergens that act as triggers and cannot be avoided.
