YOGA AND THE 21st CENTURY
2. Yoga and Health

Question:
Modern medicine has done wonders to improve many ailments, but the contemporary disease which we call stress seems to be difficult to handle for the medical world. Why is Yoga practice effective for this field? Do you think it will remain so in the future?

Desikachar:
Our future life will be stressful – there is no doubt about that. With all the comforts and conveniences we have, and all the opportunities which modern life gives us, we have more and more ambitions – this can only increase the stress level.

The question is how to cope with it? No outside force can do this for us – we have to look after it from within ourselves, using our own resources.

Yoga cannot prevent stress, but as I said earlier,...

YOGA AND THE 21st CENTURY
2. Yoga and Health
Question:
In this field do you see the most important contribution from Yoga being on a preventive or a curative level in the coming century?
Desikachar:
I think the most important contribution Yoga can make in the field of health is the courage it can give to face illness, the strength we can find to cope with our ailments.
The moment we have this strength, we have already been cured in a way.
That, I think, is a very significant contribution. This is at least what we see with the many different people who come to our Yoga institution in India.....

✨ Over time a Yoga Practice can help reduce inflammation and stress. This is key in preventing the return of cancer cells.

✨ There is lots of research and studies done on this from MD Anderson in Texas - one of the best cancer centres in the world.

✨ I work with people in The Royal Surrey Hospital - using Yoga Therapy to help support and compliment cancer treatment.

Yoga Therapy at The Fountain Centre - Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust ✨

Following the Princess of Wales’ visit yesterday to the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital, we wanted to share this quote from her. At the Fountain Centre, we have been supporting the wellbeing of cancer patients for 27 years, and it is encouraging to see how attitudes have evolved to prioritize care for the mind, body, and spirit. Hearing the Princess speak so openly about the importance of treating the whole person is truly wonderful, and we’re delighted to know that this approach has been beneficial to her throughout and beyond her own treatment.
