Hi everyone
Was wondering if anyone can offer any advice / recommendations for a residential yoga therapy center in India for slipped discs.
To keep things brief:
- slipped discs in L3, 4, 5 & S1 for over 15yrs
- diagnosed with DDD degenerative disc disorder
- practiced yoga (only basic asanas) for 1.5yrs
- can do most basic asanas to a degree, down dog, cobra, bow, etc.
- standing poses I can only hold for short period
Yoga has given me hope of pursuing goals were as before things were pretty bleak. Its only unfortunate I wasted so many yrs with other remedies that didn’t help and cost a lot more money.
I’ve read its best to start Hatha yoga, get a good bearing and move onto others. But I’m interested in all forms, Ashtanga, Iyengar, etc. I’m just a little overwhelmed with all the info on the web. Especially all the retreats and courses available.
Is it worth going to a therapy course for a few months or just apply to a yoga course and make sure they can accommodate slipped disc sufferers? I’m unable to afford the higher end places, more low to mid price range and my visa lasts for 6months. I’d like to stay around India and learn as much as I can for the 6 months.
If anyone has any first hand experience or know of good therapy centers, it would be a great help.
Thx
