Yoga classes and Meditation!

It thought I share this with everyone. I've been suffering from CP/CPPS the past three months and have gone through all the standard testings and Antibiotics regiments with little or no improvement. I just returned from an hour of Yoga class and I have to admit, the relaxation, breathing and the meditations seem to have ease the pain. I spoke with the teacher and we did spend more time on stretching the pelvic muscles and learning how to relax them and I have learnt a few more stetching techniques to try at home. Later today I am heading to an hour of physical therpay to further learn how to approach this chronic issue and hopefully find more solutions in easing the pain.

In search of an answer! :thumbup:

Worth also getting hold of this book from Amazon - The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook.

HI,

I too have benefited quite a bit from yoga. The breathing techniques, coupled with the asanas and various bodily movements, has opened me up both physically and mentally. I think that yoga is slow medicine, but is an integral part (at least for me) to the long term solution to CPPS. I am wondering what stretches you are doing to open-up the pelvic area, and I would be interested in knowing what your PT recommends as well.

Alright this is a post a like seeing. Shortly after I had first developed my discomfort I had read that Stress reduction thereapy was good for prostatitus, including Yoga. Needless to say that I had joined a Yoga class immediately after learniong this and have had nothing but promising effects after each and every session that I do. So I would also have to say that I have had great relief, both mentally and physically, from my Yoga sessions.
