Question of an instructor with focus on pain relief. A yoga teacher that would be effective for pain management should be well informed in the employment of props. S/he must be aware that every Yoga pose is adaptable to suit the particular needs of a student. So if you feel the slightest rigid “I’m the teacher and only I know what’s best” attitude, drop that teacher immediately.
A critical component for a yoga instructor is compassion and the facility to assist students experiencing different illnesses. Without this, s/he would not be able to meet your particular needs. Yoga is adaptable to meet specific requirements of its students. Any instructor who hasn’t experienced any previous pain would not be able to feel with the student enough to recognize and accept. This makes a leading or famous Yoga teacher, despite capability of doing all postures with a perfectly toned body like an Olympian, not the best one to have any understanding of the pains you’re having.
So, as far as yoga is concerned, it’s more of making the newbie perform yoga consistently with diligence. Yoga is also like prescription medications, that there are no guarantees for all the ailments.
Definitely Yoga assures a distraction from the pain and teaches the student to handle it better without negative repercussions.
